Washed it and took it for a drive :-O

[bae1994]

Fitted new engine mounts and a new water pump while the radiator was out,

Days like these where I wish I had a garage to work in... Too bloody hot

[vyruskiller]

New rad fitted with water pump and some silicone hoses

I was not prepared for what a bugger of a job it would be, spinning captive nut, damaged cowl due to that - as for how little room there is due to the new rad being thicker - I was not prepared for that!

Also lost 5 stone in the wooden garage phew ?

Went for some petrol ready to use it tomorrow... took me 2 hours haha. Damn rural roads.

Finished doing some last final adjustments today before Old Skool Mini's pick it up in the morning and whisk it away for a full spray job. :)

Dropped the oil & put in some fresh Valvoline VR1, with a new oil filter too.

Stripped my gearbox that was crunching from 4th to 3rd. Guess that should have been replaced when it was taken apart checked and put back together 8 miles ago (not by me)

Pair of new genuine rear Mini Cooper mudflaps fitted today.

Took it for an MOT, passed with no advisories 

[Chris.Williams]

Fitted the crank pulley, starter motor and set my tappets. Rocker cover on, picked up my new radiator brackets for the bottom points and had a mate drop in after work and offer to make a stainless top radiator shroud!
Minto......
My bottom brackets will also house my charge cooler radiator.
Almost looks like a car again ?

Pretty much follows the factory line but takes into account the charger belt.

Hi Ben

 

All went well, I see what you were talking about regarding the condition of the door/frame, I will have to plan another visit to you in order to sort it out.
