Ok,

so i bought a used MCS while i was in TX buying my Tundra (long story) and it had a "hitch punch" in the rear bumper cover. it was almost centered and i thought about buying a new cover and having it painted and then i thought wait a minute, i own a fab shop and build anything so i set about building a trailer hitch and cut the hole a little bigger to accomodate the receiver.

Once i had that done i needed something to tow behind it so i could use my MCS to pick up and deliver parts i mean after all if i could get 20+ MPG around town why wouldnt i right?

So what started out as a small project (nothing in my shop ever is) has snowballed into a really sweet trailer that could easily double as a track trailer. i'm even thinking about adding a tire rack, toolbox holder and vise.

so this is what i came up with so far. Ebony the shop dog not included

 

Thought about washing her but that did not happen.

 

Took him around this week to get estimates done for a new front windscreen and getting his roof redone. Idiot roofers working on my work's building dropped some rocks on him from 3 stories high.

 

!!, I hope the roofer's Insurance is paying for it. They are responsible for the damage.

 

AWW look at the dog!

 

Mount a dog seat and give Ebony some goggles and a helmet. No one will mess with your Mini. Not really, cute pooch.

 

6 days of rain here in Vegas but it's supposed to be over so I cleaned the grime off my Mini. Hopefully the weather man isn't wrong.

 

Took a mini 400 mile road trip to go visit my mom and grandma. If it doesn't rain up here in Nor CA, I'll give her a bath tomorrow.

 

Finishline....Great job on trailer. I fab stuff too and like the way you built it. I am going to build a hitch also but probably for a bike carrier. I dont ride but wife does and I figured I could use the exercise.Need to get some together time I am thinking...

 

Installed windshield today and little pieces... Almost there!!

 

Youre welcome to come to the shop anytime. Im in the high desert. Pm me for my phone number.

I travel all over for work. Maybe someday Ill be in your neck of the woods. Would love to meet new people. Thanks Jim

 

Went into his garage and looked at him... He smiled back

 

WOW am i jealous of your garage! its gorgeous, did you finish it like that just for Him?

Also, where did you find the dealership flags and signage? that just makes it!

 

AZMiniMan...where on earth in PHX did you find such an outstanding Garage??!!

Ps. I was just going to say "You SUCK!!", but thought better of it...NOT!!

 

Watched Basil turn 1000 miles; put in it's third tank of V-Power and then washed the wheels. Plenty of brake dust in 1000 miles!

 

Very nice setup.

 

The take it to the dealer now light came on this morning (technically yesterday morning, but I'm still up), so that's what I did. I'll pick it up in the morning and find out what crapped out on it. In the mean time I'm driving a POS Hyundai rental and HATING it.

 

^ lol bummer!

I just instaled a SprintBooster .....is the light suppose to stay on after you turn off the car?

 

A garage truly worthy of a GP!!! Awesome. I need to give my Clubman some of that goodness for his bedroom...

 

I'm at tr dealership giving Ligaya her first oil change!

 

If that were my garage, I'd be smiling back too!

 

I just took out my dirty, grime covered mini, went to a buddy's house to give him a gift, womped it on the way back then stuck it back in the garage, dirty and hot.

Poor car gets no loving from me.

 

Sorry but that isnt a garage. Thats a parking stall. A nice one for sure.. I have a garage. Its a do all garage. Weld, paint,machine,rebuild and fab. do it all type..A real garage. No disrespect. Your place is a show room. I would love to have and be ale to keep one like that but isnt in my blood..Happy holidays
