I taxed the mini for 6 months, but made the car SORN after 1 month.

Collecting bits for my never ending, or starting, turbo project. I'm collecting bits ATM. I will hopefully fix the BMW by next year, and Mr insurance will allow me to drive it. :)

Got a pair of original Minifin Alloy drums for £20! Any ideas on how to check if they are safe from cracks etc?

x-ray diffraction?

You can do it using dye-penetrant sprays. A good welding/fabrication should be able to do it you for free if your lucky, only takes a few minutes.

Nothing like smiling at a mini in tesco car park only for the owner to scowl at you.

Does a single box side exit exhaust sound any different to a single box centre exit exhaust? Lets say of the same type/brand...

That would be good, however had a chat with Dad & the jag he restored & sold is now going through a legal battle due to the salesman selling the buyer another car & wanting his deposit back from my Dad (however the modifications he's done to suit the buyer were more than the deposit) & his chevy is back in the garage for an engine rebuild as well as the corvette ss engine he building....so no room (or time) for the mini :(
