Well its been a massive labour of love,but shes nearly done
New calipers,pads,discs,brake lines,servos, master cylinders,unions,ball joints,track rod ends,gaitors
Bruised and blooded knuckles,masses of new tools
But she works,after hours of messing
Just a few(hopefully) small jobs to do for mot
And then drive it and hope i like it😁  20160611_170957.jpg   76.16K   25 downloads  20160616_154250.jpg   66.74K   58 downloads  20160620_163633.jpg   58.85K   14 downloads

nightmare, couldnt separate the brakepipes from some of the unions so ended up ripping them all out(which isnt a bad thing) as there all brand new now.everything was seized.caliper bolts,basically every bolt,ball joints,hub nuts(lump hammer and chisel job)
usual replacement of the brake/clutch masters,slave,brake reducer(pedal barrels seized)
local mini specialist was useless so had to make all the pipes myself
and i didnt realise metro discs were slightly deeper than mini discs so that was a head scratching moment
but its all worth it
and i dont know why the pics are upside down

... and, if anything they're more fun to drive than a Mini - as long as a decent job has been done with the pedals and you don't need to reverse park often. Be sure to fit a dipping mirror too!

funnily enough the pedals are terrible,throttles sticking,and the brake & clutch,well i dont know whats going on there
