Latest update. Heated screen is wired in. Fan is working, and electronic ignition is fitted.
Still have wiring issues tho.
But I'm off to the rollers next month
Despite the gueswork mixture, the car performed brilliantly at Lydden at the start of the month!

I know my mate has a pic! Some w@nker has copied it. It is uncanny! Was it definately a minus Ade because it doesn't look that small. Could be an FRA shell? Got no bonnet bulges either.
I will get my mate to e-mail the pic.
Bit of shoddy work on the arches tho, they are far too high at the back!

Mini is back on the road!!!!!!!

As some of you may or my not know my mini was broken into whilst it was off the road getting some upgrades.

The upgardes are now finished and I've borrowed some wheels from a friend and he is good to go.

Well here is my new brakes. Solid discs, grooved and cross drilled with non-vented 4 pot callipers (or rocking horse poo :tongue: ) and black stuff pads. Used the goodridge braded hose line conversion. Nice

Here is electronic ignition, did it a while ago but didn't post at the time.

... and here is the ratchet strap that now holds my boot on, after some M1nge-faces ripped the boot off to see what was in it. But he is on the road and living at his new address. My mums house. Soon he will be joined by the rest of his friends, my tools, until I have moved house.

Any one want to buy my house, nice area. Honest.

Sorry for the delay Ian, lets book the rollers session for next month! I'll ring you end of this month.

My mate should come in his clubby, We re-conditioned my old gas-flowed, ported, polished, big valve head, it is now on his 1275 and goes like stink. Should be a good day.

and seeing as I've transferred all my pics from my phone...
...here is the car at a track day last month. Nice of my mate to get an action shot good work fella
