This week I managed to get my garage cleaned up enough to bring my Mini into the garage. Yesterday my daughter and I successfully pushed it in with a couple of very large tarps and our van. Unfortunately or fortunately I had to purchase two sets of car dollies so that I can maneuver it from side to side as I get it positioned to work on.
I am going to tint the windows first while it is on the dollies. I found out last night this will be difficult, especially the back glass on the hatchback because of all of the curves. Always watch the how to videos for each window before jumping in with both feet. I did not follow the proper H pattern and will have to start back over from scratch.
Here she is on the dollies, with the clear windows. That space on this side is all I have to work with, there is enough space on the other side for me to squeeze in and push back across.
I will be tinting the windows, replacing the timing chain, checking for any visual signs of engine damage, drain and screen the engine oil to check for plastic and metal pieces, and hopefully all will be good to go.
Next post should be in a few days with windows done and up on jack stands.
