Sooo, not done much to Mindy at all during all this COVID stuff. Have had her out a fair bit for a run, but not done anything to her. So, decided that as much as I love the look of the wooden steering wheel I bought for her I had gone off the look now and am going for a more subtle look with the interior. So bye bye wood/chrome wheel, and back with her oem Nardi black leather wheel. Just think seeing as I took all the fake wood off the centre console to make it back to black, the wood one the wheel looked out of place. And although with it being smaller it gave me more leg room, it obscured most of the instrument dials which really annoyed me. Add to that the fact that when the sun was behind us, at some angles/height of the sun it would reflect off the chrome spokes and blind me when driving! Any hoo, back to black as Amy Whinehoose used to sing.......interior is now black and red with chrome/stainless details. Much simpler and better looking I think
And although Mindy is normally parked in the car port next to garage, and Gayle Juke (aka "Effie" as she looks like a wee elephant lol) is where Mindy is in this next photo, thought it would be nice to get a wee photo of Mindy and DD together. This is the view into back garden from our bedroom window!
Mindy now back under her cover and in the car port. Managed to pick up a mega hard to find part..........oem mk1 mx5 electric aeriel. Prev owner had fitted a modern stubby one which looked totally out of place on her.....plus had to be removed everytime I wanted to put her cover on. Removing it left a long bolt sticking up, which would damage the cover, so it had to go! Going to see if I can maybe get this fitted on Monday or next weekend. Came with all the wiring too, so will be like an oem install. Just a wee detail but one which will make a differnce.
