Great Job. !! I had quite a few Minis in the 60's- 70's. Cars and Vans but never a pickup but would love to have one here to run around our property.

Where in Bolivia ? please, would love to put a pin in my world map.

Regards

Peter

I live in two cities, Santa Cruz and Uriondo (25 km south of Tarija). I do all my projects at my house in Uriondo, but I'll probably bring the Mini to Santa Cruz in 6 to 9 months.

Where is the map posted?

Hi Richard. It is a map I have on my computer. I keep a list of where our family, friends and forum members are.

Most spare time now for the Mini is for driving (if not working on the Renault), but I did add an oil temperature gauge to the front of the transmission and Dynamat Hoodliner to the hood (bonnet)





And added a fuel pressure regulator to reduce the pressure to 15 psi.



Then cut the exhaust to raise it a few cm and stop hitting speed bumps and rocks, finally adding a skid plate.



and then made a vinyl cover for the bed.
