Just washed and waxed the Mini, also changed out the H7 lights to a set of Artic White, 55 W low beam, and 70 High beam, hopefully they dont burn out the harness.

I also just changed the oil. Used my brand new topside oil changer - worked like a champ!
Completed the entire job and not a drop of oil touched the outside of the engine or the ground or me for that matter!

Installed Curt trailer hitch that I purchased from
eTrailer.com . I have purchased many items from eTrailer and they have always provided good products, instructions and service. This is my first time using a Curt product and the fit and finish is great. The install was easy, took 90 minutes start to finish by myself.
Here are a few pics...

Installed our first prototype catless downpipe - took about 1 hours of solid work or 2 hours once I started working on other parts of BIGmini.
Luckily I had all the special tools, which wouldve delayed things considerably otherwise....

God I love these rigs
So many possibilities....
I would turn it into a California surfin rig with The Cal Woody style aero kit and grille and attach two surf boards in back.

We installed a CRY02 Sprayer for the GP intercooler last year for a fun project. This part of it was put on the back burner for some others in the last few months. Finally had some time to finish this up.
May install and LED for some night time fun
