right update time... I had a week and half of last week and the week before so spent most of the time working on the mini I got rear all built up now and got the front built up too. just finishing the brake lines and sorting out which wire do what in the engine bay. these are the picture I got so far and a vid of the engine running repaired the roof gutter rail needs a bit more work but it nearly there rebuilt the rear brakes sorting out the wiring in the engine bay the things that keep you going when working in the garage dunno why but another engine bay pic got the heater wired up and was sorting out the hoses but need the gommets for the hoses in the bulkhead but they are the oval ones which are proving hard to find
