Got to get it back on the road first. :/ Went to this years MITP in the Astra, so really need to get it back on the road, and take it to some mini shows. :) I miss driving it so much.

Any idea how long oil takes to burn off from the inside of the exhaust? Just replaced the shot valve guides and it's still smoking (though not as severe)

Minispares adjustable rear camber brackets any good? :/ I will also be buying some longer track rod ends, as it appears to be required.

Yes that's right. I'm fitting adjustable bottom arms and tie rods. :) I will do the back when I get the car set-up.

I have them installed on mine, had no issues so far. KAD will be better but more expensive. Depends on your needs.

What I'll do is try and fit some parts to the mini, then put it back in the garage so I can order some more parts, so I can to fit the parts I was fitting in the first place. GRRR! :(

Well after my first week at my new work (Start of a 4 year apprenticeship as a coachbuilder) it would seem I have the same level of capacity as an end of third year apprentice, less the experience at panel beating of course, but he said I should be as good at that as the last apprentice in about a month... maybe I could do the final exam in two months?!... joking of course, loving the work as I get to drive all sorts of cars like RS7's and AMG's.
