It's been a long while since I wrote about my Midas Mini redo. Sometimes it feel that the only thing that is not new is the tub but it has been worth it. The interior has held up well over the past five years, The roof is super since it all had to go. The headers and short dual exhaust keeps me at 9.5 mpg if I stay at 55mph or less.
All was fine until the main spring on the awning let loose on the freeway and I had the whole enchilada all over the freeway. Fortunately no other consequences to others on that.
After deciding to bite the bullet and replace the awning and repair some body damage I found a new 28" door for $80. I provided the retired guys a summer of entertainment as I Installed the door, sanded, primed, sanded, prepped, and painted her in my front driveway. Adding the new awning and some graphics plus a homemade loon graphic she looks pretty good for a 1976 rig. Color is International Harvester white from Farm and Home.
