It's Friday, and this weekend will be mod time for my MINI:
I will be doing a whole bunch of interior mods to my MINI this weekend:
The trim paint on my door Y-beams has started to peel, so I am using that as an excuse to do some interior redecorations:
I will line the door pockets (my panels are magnesium) will a charcoal gray felt to reduce rattles by stuff in the pockets. I will put dynamat stuff in the doors to reduce speaker vibrations. I will paint the Y-beams, as well as the center column down posts, and the tach trim ring in a dark metallic anthracite.
I will remove the speedo and adjacent two vent trim rings and paint them in my exterior color: electric blue.
I will install the Euro parcel shelf and AUX input adapter.
I will install the Forge Motorsports aluminum coolant expansion tank (long trip coming up and I don't want to take any chances, since I still have the old tank design).
Wohooooo!
I will post some pics when I'm done!
Can't wait, I'm so excited!

I just got my aluminum coolant expansion tank from Forge Motorsports. It is really cool, check out pics from
vdubdoug's Forge tank installation
however, I just realized the tank does not come with the cap, you have to buy that separately (duuhhhh!!!!).
The tank is $160, the cap another $40. I will use the plastic cap for now.
