Rewired interior, swapped a reverse light for fog light, new footwell Leds attached to a glowing duck (dont ask), washed and polished everything chrome, removed old mpi parts in engine bay (no longer needed for carb), fitted new oil breathers and a chrome rad bracket.
Next weekend the new exhaust goes on ;)

Replaced the Chrome trim along the bottom seams and roof.

I found the wires to the fog light (from the switch) cut the positive then did the same with the reverse light in the light unit. then crimped them together.
Just need to replace the reverse light with a Bright red Bulb which is brighter than the brake lights. Im going to be replacing it with a LED.
Does that make sense?

Spent the weekend at Oulton Park watching the Btcc, nearly managed to get the Mini beached in all the mud on the campsite :lol:

Stood literally metres from this, went into the tyres backwards, hit the top of the fence, then wedged itself in.... O_O

Got the wheels back on, the seats back in, the new seat mounts trimmed and holed, the intermittent wiper box in, adjusted the suspension and primed the 3rd headlight ring...

Hang on, why do I have 3 headlight rings? Junky!! >_<
