Broke it even more

[rodandtom]

put some topcoat in to my engine bay as a stop gap until I get the whole shell sprayed, filled the bit where the front windscreen rubber goes - after having ground out the rust and treated it with POR 15 obviously. Also did a bit of sanding of the filler. Lots more to do but its nice when you can see it has changed from when you went out to it.

Looked at my Mini in the garage and showed it these lovely new parts I'll be fitting to it shortly

I made this blanking plate for the hole next to my clutch master cyclinder.

 

Did you chrome that yourself? Where did you get the kit to do it?

I made it from 3/16" 304 stainless which I think in the UK you call A2 stainless or 18/8. I just polished it from rough. The back side with my initials is what it started like. It really wasn't that difficult I cut out the plate with a hacksaw and shaped it with a rough file, smoothing file, then lots of progressively finer emery paper (from 220 grit to 600 wet/dry). Then buffed it on a cotton wheel with polishing compound and stainless rouge. Took a couple of hours. You could polish it without a wheel it will just take a bit longer.

Yesterday - new wheels went on, arches removed, new exhaust went on, sorted out damage someone done to the rear (still not 100%, but it'll do for now), fitted my new steering wheel.

Today - hopefully water pump arrives.

Started it up after it sitting in the garage for 3 years, fresh fuel, new plugs, fully charged battery, started first time (after getting oil pressure)

Water pump never arrived, but my 10" mountney did so I took off my 12" one I only put on yesterday and put the 10" one. Love it!

Roughly fitted my binnacle, need to get an oil pressure gauge to match.

Took my 'zorst off ready to fit my wideband lambda sensor boss so I can hook up to the gauge ready for tuning.....
