Hi any pictures of the best looking dash ever for a mini
Not yet, but the day is fast approaching! I just need to work on the underdash tray and covering the A-pillars with some black vinyl which is on it's way from MiniSpares as we speak (Brexit allowing...)
After reading some advice on the mk1-forum about how to remove nicotine stains I had a bash with anything I could get my hands on as this headliner was beyond filthy.
After a rubdown in the tub with some sugar soap (as recommended) you can see the amount of filth coming off it
You can see here the difference between one I'd washed and one I hadn't done yet. Must be years and years of cigarette smoke built up in there.
I've also started work on repairing the rip in the forward half. Here it is before anything
And here I've started stabilising it with some clear waterbased glue, it needs patching with some backing to strengthen it and hopefully it will end up fairly invisible.
I've also made up the last brake lines, except for the one to join the servo to the front assembly, and the lines joining the clutch MC to the flexi that goes to the slave. I've also largely finished the fuel line from front to back and fitted all the p-clips to the floor. That will be finalised soon and I will paint all the holes drilled for the p-clips with some enamel paint for rust proofing. The bolts for the p-clips are stainless, and will be isolated from the body with nylon washers which should hopefully waterproof the whole assembly.
Still left to do is fit the front to back power cable that will be routed via a mains power switch, which will be mounted inside the cab. Then I can start fitting the rear sub and start building up the suspension. I've got a fresh can of EP90 and 1L of Dot5 on the way so things can be filled up and setup. Happy days.
