cleaned and rehoned the bores on the old engine, and the postmans just delivered a new set of yellow stuff brake pads, glad he has, the old ones are almost down to metal, lol, so off to replace them today.

Just wired up a voltage guage in my dash, also got all my front speakers working again!
Now charging the battery, as somehow it didn't have enough oomph to start the car!?

Took it out of the garage for a spin round the block a few times as its not been run for a few weeks. Wanted to give it a proper run really but the local roads were still wet, salty and not very mini friendly!
Roll on spring!

Done a nice little mod' with my rear fog light.
Removed the reverse light bulb from the offside, moved the wiring to the foglight into where the reverse light would normally be, and plugged in a red bulb. So now the foglight is in the light unit! No more silly box thing hanging on the rear valence.
Made the rear end nice and symmetrical. O_O

Also cleaned up the block/body earth strap as it was struggling to start. - Works like a dream now!

Also got all the front speakers working again. Got fed up of just having the two rears working, so now I have those, as well as the 4 up front.

:ohno:

So i had to get as much of that out as i could.
