how did you spray your wheels man?
just sand them down prime them and paint ye?

cheers in advance

Post by **StanO'Toole** » Fri Jun 24, 2011 3:41 pm

Clean them down, remove all the tar, sand them down, MAKE SURE THERE DRY BEFORE YOU START SPRAYING ANYTHING, mask of the tyre, prime them, spray them, laquer them! Take your time and do light coats. I'm sure I can take a day to pop out and give you a hand if you need it

quick update getin rid of the rust on the door

it requires another coat of lighter filler and then primed again and then i can paint it..that should make it look ok but not brilliant

Unfortunately I'm not able to get insurance for the mini until at least October..as that was my only reasonable option due to the costs...one quite was for 9k!

Could have got dirt in the fuel during rebuild, did you fit a fuel filter, or just a loose connection on the ignition system ,did you change points?

Post by **scotty_1987** » Thu Jul 21, 2011 6:28 pm

eh no woody i havent done anythin to it by waynof changin anythin or that..as i say the car was runnin fine only around ten mins earlier and it was idlin fine then we tried to drive it again and it had no power and was just rough soundin splutterin and misfirin..unusable any way!

any help would be appreciated
