After 8 months on sale, I finally sold the MINI. As awesome of a car as it was, I was simply bored with a car that came completely done. I realized far too quickly if there is a lot to be said about building the car up the way you want it and not picking one up that has everything done before you even buy it. So farewell MINI. With the MINI and more importantly the car payments gone, hopefully we can finally get around to building that new garage that I have been dreaming of since we bought this house.
The new bay should be about 1.5 bays wide and about 1.5 deep. The added space should allow for a nice, proper work area along the one side, and hopefully even enough room to have a small storage loft above the garage door as well as enough depth and height to allow for a 4 post lift to park the bug on, while parking my truck or motorcycle underneath. God willing we can break ground this spring. Finally.
Truck progress is coming along. Interior is finally nearing completion. Amps are mounted and wired in, sound deadening is layered on all flat surfaces, carpet cut and trimmed to fit. I’ve got new seats and door panels installed, but i’d like to find some in the proper colour one of these days. That way it will look complete and not so cobbled together.
The beetle and CBR600 are nestled all snuggly in my Dads garage. After tidying up the garage we parked the pair in his garage so I could pull the Silverado into mine and open the doors and work on it much more easily. Hopefully another week or so and I will finally be able to put the new beast on the road.
