hye mate

nice mini

still using previous colour ?

[Tomf]

Yea im still using the lime green but im going to paint the floor black.

well i finally got round to fitting the door cards. i also stripped everything out the back seat and in the boot of the mini, iv just got to remove a hell of alot of sound deading now, a some idiot (me) decided it would be good to add loads of it.

Looking good Tom. I would have expected you to be out working on the mini today since it was warm not cold for this time of year

That seat doesn't look comfortable

[Tomf]

haha its actually really comfy for me as its a perfect fit. well iv been working on it this morning, but it got to cold as i was only in my shorts lol. I was going to put on the exhause, however i realized i wont be able to take it to the rollers as its nearly chrismass.

lets see piccys of the bucket seat then

[Tomf]

Soz i dont have any pics yet, but ill try and get some sorted.

Well iv decided im going to change my breaks and fit some MK2 fiesta breaks as i think its a bit safer that my gridded back calipers iv got at the moment, although the feel strong and i haven't had any problems with them, i still don't quite trust them.

So i have ordered:

Mk2 fiesta calipers
Mk2 fiesta caliper carriers
Conversion break hoses

but iv got to find some Metro (80-90) Vented disk drive flange's and i cant find them anywhere ill pop into the local mini/metro shop and see if the have any there.

Iv also got to find some high tensile bolts, and turn down some disks, but this isnt going to cause me many problems as i have access to a lathe...

engine has gained a major knocking noise and its got low oil pressure. Looks like the engine is gunu have to come out for a rebuild, so the minis not going to see the road for a while now
