I’ve been seeing more and more matte blue cars as prototypes out there. This Subaru is really close in color to mine. #dragonBlue

MOTD 11 – Killboy Shots
Since the car was all new, I was obligated to buy some of the shots that Killboy got. Very happy with them always fun to see the car in motion.
These begin with the drive in Monday afternoon and end with the drive out in the rain on Sunday. -
Minis on the Dragon 11
We made it back, barely, from MOTD 11. Had fantastic weather while we where there all week until saturday and sunday. The car show was not only miserable to be at, but a miserable turn out. I won’t be entering it again, as its really just a popularity contest now, and whomever’s club has the most people show up wins. Yes, I’m bitter.
Otherwise we had a fantastic time, met some sweet new people, and reconnected with out of state friends. See you all again next year!

Its DONE!
Done! A few final hood tweaks were done tonight and it will be coming home with me tomorrow! Only 7 months in the making! Worth the wait? I think so, it looks absolutely brilliant! Chad at Detroit Tuned did so many little extra things that I never would have even thought of. Available to see in person next week at the Dragon!

Blue Dragon
It’s getting close (and we are running out of time!) The “Blue Dragon” paint sticker went on yesterday, so the color is now official. A few hoses and minor adjustments remain, I’m heading back to Detroit Tuned today to sign some final paper work, and hopefully help finish things up. It’s going to be down to the wire, literally. Poor Chad’s car is up on blocks…

Almost there!
Not quite done, but its all down to the little details now. We still have 7 days before the dragon, so its all good. This will ensure it doesn’t get dinged up in the parking lot at work before we get to share it with the MINI world!

Details
Spent several hours at Detroit Tuned tonight (and at least one of them was actually helping) Car is coming together nicely, enjoyed some good company and a rousing game of “Cards Against Humanity”.
I am most excited now to see the engine back together, in its matching powder coated goodness.
The Redline Leather door wraps actually match up really nicely to the new blue, I’m very happy.

Detroit Tuned is busy
Checked on the car this Saturday at Detroit Tuned. The wheels are much better looking in person, I was really worried that they were silverish. I was so used to the flat black.
Chad continues to make progress and continues to amaze me with his attention to detail. Each bolt gets wire brushed then cleaned, then a coat or two of paint, and then a day to dry before being put back on.
