Well lets put it this way, the car was restored about 1 year ago and has 314 miles on it. I probably need to drain the tank and fill it up with some good stuff. Last time she drove it other than this past week was about 3 months ago. Found some other blaster products but not the injector cleaner, so i'm going with STP.

 

Ya know Jim I have a minisport magazine that has all sorts of roof decals. You'll find parts are very cheap for the classics.

 

1 year isnt that old for gas, does it smell like varnish?

 

MMM gas fumes make me feel happy



Dunno haven't smelt it yet.

 

 

I found the problem! Ok, so I had the truck die on me and I couldn't for the life of me get it started, so I ended pushing it back home a block. Pulled the plugs and cleaned them, looked over the carbs, checked the fuel lines....nothing. Got in the truck and remembered I couldn't get the windshield wipers to turn off. Started to jiggle the wires that go from the ignition switch with the key turned over and noticed that if I twisted the wires to the right the gauge lights lit up, twist to the left and they shut off. Turn the key with them to the right....VROOM VROOM.....turn the wires back to the left and CLUNK! It was as simple as that!

 

Your truck is sweet! Congrats!

 

Whew! That was simple. FYI - The Red Mini was sold. I am looking again. I thing I can find one cheaper anyway here in Florida.



Let me know if you see any more. I remember you sent some pics of a realy sporty one I like a lot but I think it was really expensive.

 

I'll start looking again. Keep in mind a solid rust free mini will cost in the neighborhood of 8-10k. Beyond that price should get you something like an early 90's revin, worth a few extra grand if you have the money. The truck has been restored wonderfully, but still doesn't have **** on the sportpack when it comes to quality.

 

Don't mean to hijack your thread 94 touring.. but how much would a decent fixer upper Mini go for..? At least in running condition..
