What did you do to your mini today?
Yeah it sucks we lost our salvage yards. I did find this place in Pensacola. They list several mini coopers in stock.

Finally got around to cutting some decals for the MC40.
We've had #911 for a little over four years, but haven't really had time to give her the love she deserves. We chose to go with the classic Monte Carlo plates over the 40th anniversary because we liked the look. Besides, vinyl is cheap and we can always cut new ones.

Yeah find a piece of wood an knock hard. Long story short. A had a different brand comming. USPS lost my package. I was broke down in Louisiana. So Amazon had those an I could get the next day. Now my other showed up a week late in Louisiana . So my Mom is going to mail out today to Florida for me. What a pain in the rump.
Those struts breaking after 500 miles is ridiculously bad. There were times in my life when I drove that in a week. I like tools that don't ever really break, like a pair of forging tongs. Easy with almost no maintenance.

Back in 2005-2006, my mounts went so I took it into the stealership to get fixed under warranty. I was told that there is no way the mounts failed this early and therefore its my driving... Or the city streets. Really? And they want $986 to fix. Best repaired in pairs...
Nah, I will pass. Got that process down to around 45min per side to replace and $45-50/mount. Although, havent done it in a while so who knows now.
These can be such a pain. Hopefully, you are back up and running soon.

Well I finished my front end work today. Rides so much better. No more moaning sound from the front end.
So I also needed to change the cam sensor seal. So I got to the part of removing the upper bracket. An wouldn't you know. The rubber mount came apart in two pieces. So I got one comming in Saturday. Man I spent a shitload of money the past month. But still love the old girl.
