right then! yesturday after IMM i went across to a vauxhall GOD and picked up a manifold last one he had, took me 3 months to track it down! so mocked it up today, and then carried on with it all. Wiring was the task of the day?!

this is what it started like today


after ordering an internal pedal box which should be here tomorrow, i got onto taking the master cylinders out and the wiring, so it now looks like this:





so now its all a big wiring job, going to redo the entire loom myself, it was originally a 93-92 mini or something like that, so the looms a real late carb loom with all the wire ready for injection I THINK (might be wrong). All i can tell, is there far to many wires! lol.

yeah mate, just went for the day, was a last minute decision to be honest. My mate from down the road was going, so I decided at about 8am to take him up on his offer of a lift

as for advice in return for yours;-

stay away from girls, alcohol and fast cars, they're all bad for your wallet

so, when's the 'Small Bore Vauxhall Mini Meet' then? Next Saturday? They'll all be ready, yeah? :errmm:
