Spent the last few days trying to get some lights on the dash and get the fuel pump priming but I missed and earth and then Today's aim getting g the car to run

K series mini first start:

Missed an earth and it started instantly although it runs away with itself a little I think the throttle sensor needs calibration

After giving up on my fuel tank I got a 044 pump and mounted it in the boot along with the filter to tidy up the bulkhead



Finished off the exhaust







Fitted some sound deadening to the bulkhead and made a bracket for the expansion bottle and fitted it and plumbed in the rest of the cooling system I've just looped the heater for now leaving it out



Fitted a boot release cable
