[project mini chris]

YAY GOO BEER!! nice progress scott hope he sails through

[scoticus]

haha, you aint the only one!!

i do have a word of advice for everyone though,

DO NOT use re-make panels, they are a bag of w**k!

i have massive panel gaps, and having to do a fair bit of work to discise them

heritage panels would have been the better choice, but hey hoe, i know for next time haha

[scoticus]

blown both seels on the drivers side front drum :/

get that sorted soon

beer looks good, great progress. I have to applaud you guys "especially in the UK" working on your cars outside.

[scoticus]

Thanks guys, yeah he`s coming along.

the mot will be done in the week coming, i hope.

wohoo, got the slave cylinders!! £34 for both rears and both fronts

duno when they are going on the car though, because it is freezing and my helping hand is refusing to help!!... best of it is, he is at work tomorrow, and i dont know when he is off again!!

i need the car mot`ed by the end of the week, not to mention tax!!

So, as you can imagine, im in a slight mood!

thanks Chris.

yeah, i should have done the brakes in the warmer weather really, but hey hoe...

hmm... i duno about my mood, just looked at the weather for tomorrow, and its going to be just as cold, BUT im British, so ill grit my teeth and get on with it

busy tomorrow, got the car to do, and i have to go into town, and somthing else but i cant remember that one haha

[scoticus]

well, i gave it a bloody good go, but i havnt been able to do the brakes.

I got one cylinder done, but i cant get the other off, because it has the brake line going into it, and i dont want to be responsible for braking it!... so i will wait until saturday to do them.
One problem i have encounted though, i have broken the pipe that runs from one cylinder to the other... BUT lookin at the new ones, i need a different pipe...

I had a look at the back ones, and by the looks of them, they have already been replaced, and look in decent condition, so ill tell my dad, and see what happens.. but im not replacing them!! lol

hmm, need to sort the hand brake out aswell, because with it on, and at its highest, the rear wheels can still spin..

bloody brakes!!

[scoticus]

Im so thick!!

took me the best part of 15 minutes to figure out how seatbelt secure to the car!!! oh dear

but yes, got them on

also got the wind screen washer jet things in place.

and i found a new pipe to use onthe carb for the over flow

NOT GETTING THE HORN!!, power isnt getting to it, so im going to make another live to it
