Mini Pickup Rebuild by mini-man-dan

Got top rad bracket on the other day, gear linkage now all connected after a bit of a panic when I ended knocking it into gear when the gear linkage wasn't connected. Luckily the roll pin turned up that morning (thanks MiniSpares!). Fuse box is on, other few little bits done. Little and often and hopefully it'll be done by May!

Alright mate
Progress is going well, and yes there is some! Got the front grill on topday, and the moustache. Got one of the back lights drilled in place too.
You know I was after one of those plastic SPi heaters and couldn't find one anywhere...
I opened up the shed (of all places!) and there was a lovely SPi heater sat there on the floor! Couldn't believe it I took it out of the GT before Craig had it, didn't even realise it was a plastic one because someone has put an old style switch panel on it.
That went in today aswell.

Here's some pictures...

Yummy yummy...

Tried to recover the lower dash rail too. All went well with foam padding until we put the vinyl cover (retro retrims) over. This is how it ended up...

Oops! Spent over an hour with white spirit and a cloth getting all the foam and sticky off! Going to try it again but without the foam this time
