Did the messiest job I've ever done on a Mini - applying underbody wax.

Cavity wax was a bit messy but the the underbody was a complete mess, went on too thick, dripping all over the place and went everywhere, may never be able to spray another thing in the garage again :-|

I just hope it doesn't look too much of a mess when it's dried

changed voltage regulator on my old alternator, then took alternator out and replaced with another used one which looks like the rectifier is fried so will be taking it out again soon.

Timed up my cam from the top of the valve, set the Kent 286 to 104.5 / 105 degrees ATDC (checked it a couple of times), it should be set to 106 degrees but I've taken into account a little chain stretch.

Setting TDC of number 1 cylinder:

Setting full lift at number 1 inlet:

Wasn't as tricky as I thought.

Also fitted my adjustarides and new gaz dampers.
