You'll need to post a picture when it's all assembled.Changed fuseboxes to new ones with silicone grease to try and hold back corrosion, as I found a melted fuse!

I will do! I got an M12 stainless grub screw for the sender and used some loctite retaining compound to hold it in (don't want it coming out!) And I'm getting stainless button heads to hold it all down. Hopefully I like how it looksYou'll need to post a picture when it's all assembled.Changed fuseboxes to new ones with silicone grease to try and hold back corrosion, as I found a melted fuse!

Broke a bolt off chasing threads in the mounting bosses on my new radiator. Thankfully some strategic drilling a thread extractor did the trick to remove it. *phew*
Other than that, I discovered I replaced my clutch master cylinder with a brake master cylinder. So that made me feel really dumb. Going to need to find out what sort of problems this will cause apart from the clearance between the brake master cylinder being 0.

Wash dry and polish ready for the winter months. try and keep as much dirt and grime off of this thing as possible...

Began my engine assembly. Three trips to my local mini specialist for different thrust washers and a genuine transfer cover gasket later and I'm pretty satisfied with how it's looking.
Wanted to get clutch and flywheel on but parental duties

Have you waxed it after polish? As you do realise having paintwork exposed after polish can lead to red cars going pink.

I have yes, no need to worry about that
I have good car care products apart from wax, so I need to invest in some good stuff after I get birthdays and stuff out of the way...
