Part 1:
I have been busy with my mini in the past week. I have managed to sell my old alloys with tyres and got some new alloys (but need tyres). I was back home in london to work on the mini, and took the engine out of silver which was awesome, will be taking it to the garage soon now as i cant weld or spray (new panels and a paint jobby).
So here are my new alloys (10x6 revolites)
Got them on ebay for £64, a bargin i think considering i'll be running them during the winter months, i have spoken to arc angels and they have confirmed that my carbon fibre bits will arrive at home on wednesday (parcelforce 48), so mum will be waiting a bit longer at home before to heads to work.
So this was the mini before me and my sisters husband got cracking on the mini
.
I got started on all the simple stuff as he had 2 pick up more tools from his garage in watford.
So i took the carb off.
Very simple, just followed the haynes manual and the workshop manual (thanks waters
, £1.20 on ebay)
Starter motor off !
The 70amp alternator from minispares works a treat
Think this was the heater hose i disconnected (correct me if i'm wrong)
Horn,lol
Breather hose
Dizz Shizzle
Servo + hose and hose connection point
Not sure why my why this picture was taking but i love it
Brake master cylinder
At this point my sisters husband arrived to help with the manpower on knocking out the steering tie-rod joint and swivel ball joint out. It took a fair few knocks from both of us but we managed it.......well he did
