bout the lanch control, oh well, i only innitially wanted a rev limmiter, but for an extra few quid it would be rude not to get lanch control too
Loverly story pie, can wait to get back into worcester sooooooooon. I remember trying to keep up with him down the lanes on the way back to malvern once - no chance!! Ur gonna ave to get urs out because we'll be down a mini or two whilst rodgers gots the escort and navyseal's is bosted.
Made a bit of progress last weekend, but not much worth writing about. This weekend i've started the rear subby. Today i got it off and the radius arms off, it's pretty much bare now - EXCEPT 4 bloody bolts that i sheared!! They where the ones holding that bracket on the end of the radius arms, one on one side, three on the other Also the big pin thing on the one side won't come out because its rusted in place. So tomorrow is going to involve several drill bits and a damn big hammer!! Fun awaits! :'(
Pics to follow after the weekend.....

as nice as it is, i'd never buy that thing - he gives it death!! only thing i'd buy it for is to take the nice bits of it hehe
Well i thought i'd report back on the progress.
The subframe is shot, so i'm gonna be gettin a new gen one during the week - this is not good!! i did not budget for this, i've already spent all my money on toys - My bad
I've cleaned up the radius arms and all the drum related gubbins, and they've all be painted white. At the moment its all a really clean pearl white, but i'm hoping that after a few weeks it'll all stain and become a nice dirty old english white kind of shade - rally styleeeeeee
Also started cleaning up the under the car, and poked a couple of small rusty holes in the heal board, this is also something i didn't budget for. The only cosilation is that its only one small hole on one side (about the size of a pen hole) and two on the other side (about the size of a penny). But now i gotta find a portable welder that can come to my hooose next week to fix it.
Tryin to think of quiet jobs to do now, because i got a stonking headache (strictly a MAN headache tho) Its my own fault i shouldn't ave told the lads i was back in town this weekend and i definatly shouldn't ave let them drag me out last nite
And it doesn't help using the wire wheel in the boot - it makes a horrible noise at the best of times, but sticking ur head in the boot with it - my god it hurts!!!
I got lots of pics, but cant upload them on this silly computer, so u'll have to wait till monday when im back at uni
OH - seeing as i'm paintin the underneith, engine bay and subframes all white - in rally styleeeee - i'm thinking of painting inside the boot white too - what do you peeps rekon? im a bit scared of making the car look like a zebra tho?
Love Mini Coupes! My best friend has one.
