Resealed the windscreen. It's never been watertight since the screen was replaced. Captain Tolly's Creeping Crack Cure was employed, with a decorators scraper to pull the seal back.

 

Seems to have worked very well.

Not just today, but over the last few nights I have fitted the fan to water pump pulley twice!
Also, ordered new electric fan, in line heater valve, heater cable, new rocker cover gasket & a few odd & sods (taken advantage of the Mini Spares winter sale!)

Spent the whole afternoon trying to bleed the brakes.driver side rear did not want to no. Whipped of drum to find oil .changed it now for the other side. This is why us men hold parts in our garages. Never no when you may need them

Flushed the cooling system and replenished it with fresh antifreeze.
Out for a run in the pouring rain, hmmmmmmm lots of fun with supercharger acceleration!
Fitted new areial to front guard and new wiper refills.
Good to go.
Joked with my mate Dan about how long Stuart will take to get him his supercharger kit haha.

Bought 2 new axle stands from halfords, and foam from b&q. Lifted the back end of the car up, so the whole car is now off the floor. Removed the rear subframe, boot lid, fog light and battery.    The car is basically a shell now. just need to remove the rear bumper, wheel arches, windows, door cards ect.

 

Definitely a depressing stage of a rebuild, but she's worth it. On a brighter note, I should be getting the modified 940 turbo head soon. :)

Tried something different.

crinkle paint, or whatever it's called?

After knocking in the cam yesterday, retorqued the head, reset the valve clearance and gave it a few revs. Dump valve sounds sweet!

Went to Leyland to collect my stepson from his other halfs, jumped in me Mini and broke the seat mount...... have custom subframes fitted and they mount to the crossmember...

 

So spent the past hour or so, welding a new mount onto the crossmember so I have a car to drive to work LOL
