Cheers, the wheels took soooooooooo long to get hold of!!! I ordered one set from P&L Mini and they sent ones with grey inserts then when I wanted them changed they refused to believe that there was any difference! Finally sent them back and got my money back, then I bought some off Ebay but they never turned up and I couldn't contact the seller, eventually had to get Ebay to order her to give me the money back. Then I finally managed to get some from Midland wheel. What a pain!! >
It sounds like you have a nice engine there, what colour is it? I found a chrome paint the other day hence why mine isnt running yet im spraying quite a few bits with it, lol!
Also I went to replace the front brake lines the other day but I can't shift the damn things, they are stuck rock solid, ended up shearing the faces off the nut with a pair of 24" stilsons on one end and a 21" breaker bar with socket on the other! Typical Mini!

They're doing the engine in red (it was that, blue or black - so red it had to be!). Those brake lines sound a nightmare, which was the bolt that wouldn't shift? To be honest I haven't looked at mine yet, the car has been well looked after from a servicing point of view, but never owned by a real enthusiast as the engine bay had never been cleaned. I large tin of Gunk later and a lot of cups of tea it's looking a bit different! Hope to have it back on the road for the Brooklands meet at the end of March.
