just a quick update. been having a lot of trouble with the brakes. after bleeding them countless times and replacing the rear slave cylinders, ive decided my master cylinder is no good. ive ordered a new one from mini spares with express delivery and im hoping itll get here by tomorow in time for my MOT  :unsure:

 

 

anyway, new details....

thanks a lot mate, like i said im not confident though... the brakes are spongey (even after i fitted the new master cylinder i got this morning), the speedo doesnt work, and im pretty sure the handbrake isnt working properly... other than that it should be all good  :D  

 

and yeah i get mixed opinions on the wheels so youre not alone lol, thanks
