got a little bit more done today, sat the dash in place and did the steering column which i didnt intend on doing and fitted master cylinder, and clutch mechanism

had a nightmare of a day today, managed to crack the dash, scratch the cage and floor getting the cage in so to be honest im pretty pi**ed off

a few pics of where i got to, had to walk away as i was getting stressed and would of thrown a tantrum at any time lol

finally got the mini running today today
sounds bloody mental
cannot believe it started first go

after a little tweaking idared to take it for arun round the yard with no brakes only the handbrake so couldnt open it up
