tnx rey rya! Happy new year! saw ur mini pic of ur mini...very impressive! too bad most japanese mini imports here are looking wrecked. it's good u found a nice mini to restore and start with ok rey rya, i will consider your suggestion

tnx miniracer! gud thing u saw the "seven minis" and have an idea. tnx! ur a big help. will greatly consider ur suggestion. im sure the 998's being a '91 will not be a disadvantage nor will make much difference vs the '96 "seven minis"
