Great work,

One minor concern, could the rain run into the carb via the scuttle vents?

Well what a good day Tuesday was, my mate got a message from mini world asking about his clubman, wow a feature great news

Shortie got mapped and set up on the rollers, really pleased with 86bhp 90lb torque should really fly

end of the day turned out to be rubbish, picked up my mates mini from the paint shop, not good, i noticed a small dent in the door and pointed this out the painter said "well you can never get them all" after more inspection the minis paint job was shocking runs, dings and paint reaction all over

what do they say " 2 outta 3 aint bad"
