These plastic drip rail covers will be replaced with some new stuff in black.

Some trim has been removed and inventoried. Some will end up in the trash, obviously.

Wow, these are some huge screws for holding on a mirror that probably dosen't weigh a pound. The previous owner no doubt did this.

This is the other "correct" side.

Now when does anyone in America recall seeing a headlight socket with an extra parking light like this wired to it? There is a clear spot in the headlight for this low light to shine thru.....kinda cool!

This is not good, but no surprise either. A new rear valance panel will square it away.

This looks good once the trim was removed.

This is purely superficial. Nothing a good grind and cleaning can't cure.

Very sweet mini! I love the progress pics! And the blue checkers on the sides is a first! I can only hope that my mini will look half as nice when it's done.
