New special order monte Carlo style tinted windscreen arrived today from Ricky Evans Motorsport, I have never seen anything so well packed before.

Windscreen in but not without its problems.
The rubber just won't fit into the corners.

Well the mini has been tucked away since October. The weather starts to break, so i have decided to give th interior a freshen up.
First up Smiths gauges in the dash. it was bit nerve raking drilling the holes into the dash. I have never seen a dash like it in anointed mini apart form other silver bullet editions. I have no idea what the veneer is , but it is pretty light colored.
Second up has been to get rid of the disco flashing modern head unit, I spent ages searching for the correct replacement. thought long and hard about a retro blaupunkt, but wasn't sure how reliable a 40 year old radio would, be plus the iPhone connection was problematic. So instead i went for a nice "retrosound" stereo

I have ordered other bits and pieces: a lucas interior light, which i hope will fit the ashtray spot, a works route holder, which i hope to adapt to hold an iPhone. lets see….

Spring has sprung and the mini is out of the garage.
Some small additions over the winter, some new gauges and new retro sounds stereo and a lovely Stearns frost shield (felt a bit bad opening up the original packaging). Oh and a nice "console" lamp from an Mgb / midget
