Thanks for the comments, guys. Not sure when itll be back on the road. Sadly I lost my dad yesterday after a long battle with brain cancer so Ive put things on hold for the time being.

Thank you all, its a bitter pill to swallow still, but life goes on. Mum keeps saying he'd want me to finish the mini, so there will be progress, just maybe a little slower until I get the shell back, and I get paid!

 

Out of the blue my calipers from KAD turned up. Spencer on their sales team has said these are the first pair they've ever done in silver, and i couldn't be happier! Really pleased with the finish on these.

And FINALLY i have the right filter to attach to my reconditioned pipes. These have been stripped back, dipped in the Deox bath then sprayed with zinc primer then a coat of anti chip then black paint.

My bits from Optimise Automotive have arrived - headlining, sunvisors, rear inner arch covers, kick board and rear parcel shelf. Pleased with most, however the sunvisors are going back as i'm not happy with the finish and the glue they've used to hold the parts inside together has gone tacky. This causes them to make a loud clicking sound even if you gently touch them - its massively irritating.
