Fitted a headunit and speakers into my mini, speakers sound pretty good for only costing about 30 quid. Ordered some plain grills as the supplied ones are ugly as shizz.

Now to tidy all the wires away.

Hunted down two outer CV rubber boots, fitted one in 10 mins, fitted the second one in 90 minutes because nothing's ever straight forward.

 

New exhaust didn't arrive and today is the deadline to avoid a second MOT test fee, so I bodged on an old RC40.  The middle box doesn't fit under my car, so I had to drop the whole exhaust a couple of inches, so I fashioned some new exhaust hangers with a coat hanger.  It only has to survive 100m to the garage and 100m back, but it's surprisingly solid.

 

Put the wheels back on, got it off stands and started it up.  Wondered how a bonnet pin could have vibrated loose in under 60s and went looking for some locktite.  

 

Took it to the garage to be checked today.....

Went for a quick drive around before I started to hunt the oil leak, 2 miles down the road the seat diaphragm split, so that's another job to do as it feels like I am driving sat on a toilet now.

sorted out my trigger wheel/pulley.

Had the "teeth" CNC'd on this fixture, so the key way inline with the missing tooth.

Then I put it on the lathe and removed some of the meat so that the sensor constantly sense the steel.
