Well more like yesterday
Got a few bits done in the engine bay, will be replacing the filter, as I have turned up the mixture and I'd rather have better fuel efficiency, but she did pull well.
will be getting the new head on today and get a few other bits painted, degrease the engine and repaint.

i got a quote for a few new parts i want to install on my mini, and also got my fan belt to line up again. I reatached the door latches as well as took some photos of bits and pices. uploading them later tonight.

on another note as i was driving along in dads car (toyota) his muffler desided to separate its self at the end of the extracters...... not my falt.

so all and all intresting day to say the least. lets not do that again tomorow.
