No sorry, haven't really got any news for you. I'm just keeping her serviced and trying to keep her going straight in the snow. Very soon i will (finally) get round to getting a new head modified, and hopefully my mate will start to manufacture stainless 4 branch manifolds for HCs, however i need to wait for him on that one as he'll be using my manifold and car as a template. Desperately need to get round to changing the engine and gearbox mounts. when thats done and with the manifold, Powerflow will redo my exhaust so that should be a lot better. Then it's onto looking for wheels again (13x5.5/6 Slots, Rostyles, Banded Steels or Wellers) with actual tyres and -60mm springs and adjustable shocks. Somewhere in there I will be overhauling the brake system and hopefully upgrading it if any good upgrade routes make themselves available. And after all that I will just continue with maintenance and correct a few dings in the body work.

But all at the same time i need to make some progress with the mini.
