Manny neglects to mention that the reason I helped him with his gallery is that it was my very, very small way to repay him for respraying the engine bay in my '73 Volvo. We're on our way to completing our winter project of doing a transmission swap on the car and Manny saved me from having to paint the engine bay myself. A task I was not looking forward to. Thank YOU Manny!!

Beautiful! I could stare under that bonnet for hours.

What kind of cover do you have on the steering wheel? It looks factory or custom.

Good eye Kentiki, It is a custom wheel wrap. I got it from www.myminiparts.com You send yours in and they exchange it. Or wrap yours. They have some really cool stuff on that web-site stuff you don't see anywhere else. And they are from your home state.

Thanks Guys, Those pants have been in my family for years. As my frail 87 year old Cuban grandmother used to say "Pull up those #*%#pants boy"

What a sweet ride - I love the M7 grilles! I'm gonna order the upper and middle ones (in black) as soon as I get home tonight!

I, too, have a new appreciation for NAM folks, now. I used to hang out on the OL a lot before I discovered NAM. I went back there last night to see what was new and I noticed that the posters seemed a lot more "harsh" than they used to be. There seemed to be more posts criticizing other's opinions than there were of actually useful information.

Meanwhile, I've gotten tons of useful stuff from you guys and I've spent thousands of dollars in my head since I came here! I know where I'll be hanging out from now on!

Thanks for the info. MyMini does indeed have some very cool stuff. Everything I've ordered from there has been top notch, plus great customer service. I love spending with a "mom and pop" (ie actually owned by an individual) place, vs. some huge company.

How hard was it installing your coolant reservoir & power steering tanks? They look awesome and that's something I've been wanting to do.

They were fairly easy to install.i just took my time and it went smoothly.I had the coolent recovery tank even before i got my baby home. Because of all the issues of the old plastic tank. But they fixed it now. But i still love the "BLING factor.
