Triumphant Twos

A few days ago I removed the heater in the Mini. I connected the inlet hose with the outlet hose, topped off the radiator with coolant, and I'm back in business. As you can see from the photos, it slims down the dash quite a bit.

I haven't opened the heater up yet to take a look as I've been quite busy with other things. I figure that will be a good fall project if I even decide to keep it in there.

Then this afternoon I replaced the condenser in the Midget yet again. When I went to start it up, it wouldn't. I was quite disheartened until I opened the dizzy back up and realized I forgot to pop the rotor back on. Woops. Put it all back together, started it up, took it for a spin, and problem solved.

I'm going to ask around for suggestions on an electronic ignition setup. There are a couple different kinds out there, and I'd rather speak to some folks with experience before purchasing one. Though it's comforting to know that a new condenser fixes the problem, it's getting annoying to have to replace it all the time. It's only a $3 part, but it's tricky getting to the one mounting screw. It usually takes me at least an hour to swap a new one in.
