Annoyed the neighbors with a marathon session of grinding back plug welds

[Mini Waco]

While it may be common to see classic minis around the UK, here in Texas it is a rare sight indeed.  To my incredible surprise, I found a mini for sale less than 6 miles from my house (incredibly lucky).  After bartering for a reasonable price, I purchased it.  Now the proud owner of two minis with one about to start on a full restoration.

If you look back to post 6584 in this thread you'll see I made it myself.

Started cleaning up the splatters of compound and polish off things that shouldn't have been compounded and polished - everything that isn't shiny   Also wired in an inertia cut out switch for the fuel pump and made a cheeky coil cover - I don't need energy drinks so went for a more chilled look 

Inertia switch is on the drivers side inner wing at the top left of the pic, hopefully the hinge will miss it when the bonnet is on
