I Only Wanted The Wheels.... by 72clubman

I've never had a roundnose or a small bore! I have to say though I'm much more of a sucker for the older stuff, s'all about the 70's mini's! I think the only roundnose that'd tempt me away would be a mk3 Cooper S. Almost bought one last year as well....

I'm glad you've enjoyed the thread it's been a lot of fun to write, it's all gone a bit quiet now as she's running and driving beautifully, only thing left is to shell out on a paintjob! 

Well that and the rod selector seal...

and maybe some more go faster parts, cylinder head, rolling rockers...

and maybe a supercharger...

Since the weather was so nice this weekend I decided to conduct some routine maintenance.  

So the order of the day was a nice and simple oil and filter change along with a new rod change seal. 

I'd been a little naughty when I picked up the car it had already been emptied of oil and after I'd checked everything I just topped it up. I should really have flushed it, but i was too eager to get her running! 

So I'm viewing this as her running in service. :)

Nice new oil seal

Very odd sump plug, which I'd feared was an expanding one, but luckily it wasn't! 

I'm running out of my supply of these! 

All topped up and ready to do, and my lovely rocker cover.

Helping my friend do exactly the same! 

Isn't she a pretty girl! 

Sucessful weekend miniing and I gave her a good blast after!
