Looks flippin' amazing so far, I'd say it was worth the wait even if it was a tense one! You must be very proud

Can't wait to see it on L2B, it'll be easy to spot even with that many Minis!

this project is inspirational!

[olds_kool_lews]

no Y piece to be seen anywhere! i hope to god it turns up 1st thing in the morning! or ill have to re-book the mot! sad times! on a high note, the central speedo conversion went straight forward, just cut the loom, and spliced it into the central speedo wiring! all the wires matched perfectly, so no guessing what wires goes where lol but im gonna have to be up at the crack of dawn to get the last few little bits like washer pipes, raise the passenger front suspension as its sitting very low! and generally give it a once over to double check everything and hope the y piece turns up in time!

That's a shame, when do you think you'll get it booked back in? Shame your to far from me as I've a spare maniflow one in the garage.

earliest now im able to get an mot is probably wednesday, as i just heard back from the ebay guy i bought the Y piece off, and it will be posted on monday 1st class as they had a family member die which is why it was delayed...
