I should have the rest of Fracky's interior ripped out and the harnesses in early next week so I'll be ready for you after that.

Well, if we could get JIMINNI to start some hard-core modding we could have full-time customer #3. Oh, were you able to figure out if H-Sport v.2 camber plates are available? Velocity Motorcars said they should have the KW's to your attention mid-week or so.

How much more of the interior are you going to have to take out? I'm excited to see how the harnesses look when you're done! Other than the gauge light Randy, what're you going to have Dr.Steve do to Checkers? I say the Autopower bar & harnesses would look great in your car too.

I get to use Fracky's car for a display and test-bed, but yours would be a good one too. Come on, step up to pedestal queen status.

I like the CF dash, but that's not a direction I'm going with the interior. I'll leave it up to you & C-Dub to spend crazy money on cup holder rings.

Thought you are going CF all over? And you know me, I don't have any "crazy" money, especially now with these crazy stock market problems

Don't know, it didn't work when you posted it earlier today. Aside from "Project Top Secret" what's your next mod plan? I say Hamann front bumper swap.

I removed 29 lbs. of previously installed steel BS from the back of Fracky today. I lost about 10 lbs. of sweat with all the sawing, chiseling and hammering. Those big, ugly welds were overheating the sawzall in the 95° heat in the shop. But it's all out and I earned my beer (or beers) at Hooters tonight.

29 pounds?!? Seriously? Holy smokes, that's absolute insanity. It must look like a giant empty space back there now. We'll need to figure out amp placement, DVD brain, capacitor, NO2, subs, etc. Time to break out the sketch book.

Dude, you should totally do that to your interior- mauve crushed velvet. You'd be the only one in the world with that interior in a Mini. Better yet, you should totally rock this look in the JIMINNImachine: http://jalopnik.com/391684/agent-pro...f-kim-cattrall. As far as changing my garage, I figured I'm over it. Just because they act like children doesn't mean I have to stoop to their level.
