cheers i post up project thread thing tomoro after pick up my new wheels

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.

Thats a nice job you did there paul..ill drop mine over monday for you to do lol..really nice mini 2..what year is it??

Working on the RSP this weekend,fitted the drivers door glass and built up the rest of the door,fitted the four wheel arches,fitted and wired the front indicators and headlamps,fitted bonnet badge,changed oil and filter,fitted new plugs and leads.Re-fitted instument pod bracket and the instruments.Hope to get it started tomorrow after which I will change the shocks,pads and discs,adjust rear brakes and finish fitting interior.Plenty of time before the boat for the IMM.

did you get a chance to fix that cage in properly?
did it pass the nct yet?

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

Opened the garage door...

it was still there...

and closed the door again...

recently fitted rear camber brackets, got new seats free omp reliner buckets!!! fitted new balls and cups on the rear trumpets and over the weekend drove from home to castlbar(session!!!) to mountbellew today and then on me way home nearly ripped the sump clean off!!!

great to hear!

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?

got steering sorted all the bolts holding on the rack were loose and sorry dont have the rack anymore already sold

crashed my mini at the blarney run!! put it on it s side!! but i got a new one was driving it to work today haha!! seriously addicted to them

Hey Paul how did the other day work out for you.

broke a weld on one of my new seats, so now its a little wobbly... filled it a bit more with junk food rubbish too, and the odd smelly sock!!!

i think i'll go down the basement and give mine a good polish in a minute!

he's been neglected lately as my mind and time have been elsewhere

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

Is it the mini your talking about polishing or something else Macker.

Tut tut-Thats you banished to the Family area at IMM Aidan!!!!!!!!!!!!!
