Thanks mate. Do you know where Bourne is?

Hmm not really, Google Maps says its about 50mins away, can you get a sat nav?

Maybe, I'll ask chris, see if he still has the one I used last time. He said his house is half an hour from Melton, I'll send you the postcode.

Oh yeah, you no how tight the CD player was in the Kia when we forced it in? When Darren recovered it, he said the CD player was sitting 2 inches out of the dash and he just pulled it out with one hand, so it must have been a fair old impact lol

[1275 SPRITE]

[1987_ParkLane]

Didn't do a lot to my mini yesterday just recieved some items.

More:



Free stickers .

And:



The internal Micra boot release .

Then went off to James' to work on his mini and pick up his turbo .

[1987_ParkLane]

Had a bit of a productive day today. Fibre glassed over the holes, outside and inside:













Then stone chipped over them:







That blends them in better now, and will make them even more water tight .

Then I decided to tidy the engine bay up a little more, before:



After:



Not much of a change, the washer bottle has gone, because it is going to be rehomed, probably in the boot, as a charge cooler is going to go in its place . Also heater cable and valve thing have been removed as they are no longer needed. And next will be the wiring needs to be sorted out, and new, modified choke cable and accelerator cable .

Yer it does, just hope it does the job, it will get some paint, just going to have a major tidy of it all first, to give more room and to make it look less messy .
