Yesterday I took her to the lion inn at blakey ridge and witnessed a rather nasty motorbike crash right outside the put :thumbsup: . And today I finished painting the alloys white only problem is now I’ll have to paint the roof because it looks cream in comparison :P .

Took the Mini to the rolling road yesterday, and now has 49.1HP from a 998cc, not too bad! :)

Its going to be a busy weekend!
The main aim is now Freddie (Hannas rover Mayfair) has had a new loom fitted after the other melted itself, we need to get freddie ready for the run to newquay!

1) Swap wheels
-take wheels off Sonic (the revos) to put back on Freddie
-Put the old 12x5 mini wheels onto sonic for time being until the weller are painted and have had the rubber fitted
2) Primmer the wellers
3) Oil change for Freddie
-change oil
-new sump plug and washer
4) Second coat of primmer on weller and or spray them matt black
5) Rewire in the 12v socket
6) Remove the roof rack
7) fit new speakers and speaker spacers
8) Rewire stereo
9) Finish painting the wellers
10) Cut a piece of wood that I will be mounting the amp to for Sonic (The pick up)
- cut vinyl and padding to wood ready for amp to be mounted
11) install the larger, more commutable and un-collapsed seats into freddie that were bought off TMF recently
12) Fit new petrol cap and large grille screws on freddie, I think there is currently 1 screw holding the whole grille on!
13) Fix what ever I break doing the above simple jobs!
