Today i fitted the new pulley and hot climate fan, but still had issues with clearance with my rad. Ended up making a new top support plate in the end.

No drawing as I made it up as I went along, but I can take some measurements and post them with a little picture maybe.
I should get the time to carpet it today and will post that pic too

8 months on from my Mini purchase, she is MOT ready!

Arches rivet'd back on (that was a pain) and sunvisors 'repaired' and back in place :)

Still loads I want to do but main objective now (after MOT) is to enjoy the ride!

removed the standard mini city stickers. the electric blue was clashing with the cranberry red !!! the start of a process to de-90's the car.
 
Looks great! Any handy tips for getting off the remaining glue left behind by the stickers? Took my Mayfair stripes off and they've left marks.

EDIT: OOOPS my quote didn't work :/

i did a you tube search and the best i could come up with was WD40. the idea is to wet the glue with it and give it chance to soak in and soften it. i also used the edge of a credit card as a scraper.

 

cleaned the paint off and gave it a good polish.

 

best to keep everything warm apparently and i used a hairdryer to soften the vinyl before removal.

 

there is a slight difference in paint colour but you should be able to get all the glue off with a bit of elbow grease.

 

actually be good to know if anyone has a better method.

Today I carpeted my boot board and I constructed my sub box, mounted my sub and installed the box into my boot.
Completed the wiring too.
