Re: what you do to your mini today??
The only thing I got to do on my Mini today was a short run of about 8 miles,however!!
We have just stopped working on zakgt's new woody which arrived here yesterday.
Stripped and rebuilt carb and dizzy,after getting the car to run on one cylender did a compression test which lead to unseezing three valves.Fitted clutch slave and master cylinders.Unseezed rear brakes and fitted cylinders and shoes. Car now drives but waiting on new front brake cylinders.Also managed to patch up Simons boot floor along the way.Had five minis spread around the garden today.

Re: what you do to your mini today??
no nct yet but its booked in for the 14th of november beleive it or not the earliest i could get in nass yea cage is on the list for this week .removeing the sound system i reckon took about 15 to 18 stone out of the mini so pauls(merlins)engine seriously moves the car now so its more enjoyable to drive it now feels like a 1330 mini fix has sorted the brakes and electrics and steering so its nearly there

just wondering.............. did you use that new steering rack in the end or do you still have it?
if you still have it, what type is it and would you be willing to part with it for a few shillins?

Re: what you do to your mini today??
well he wasnt too bad at all, just a bit of dust on the top parts but nothing major,
gave him a going over with some high resin polish and will go down in an hour or so and give him a coat of high gloss,
should be enough for now
