Bumper and spotlight brackets fitted, there’s a long way to go with the rebuild but it feels good fitting some shiny bits!

Popped out to give the oil a chance to get up to temperature and what should be going down the road in front of me?

LIfted the carpet to replace the crossmember - the floor was not in great condition so decided to bite the bullet and do the job properly.  Temporarily a Flintmobile .

Lowered the dash and put in the correct Mpi oil/volt gauges. Waiting for loom to arrive, hopefully this week(?), and will then put it all back together. However, bloody minis! Found out I need a small hole welding on drivers side footwell, new brake shoes and a slave cylinder for rear drivers side wheel.

 

Ah well could be worse, lol!

Had the Mini delivered back after having the crossmember replaced and new floor panel welded in to fill the hole posted above. Good job 👏

New 2¼" stainless custom exhaust and fresh MOT! Just needs a good mapping and she's ready for show season!!

It’s taken a lot of hours to get it right but now on the home straight with the headlining. Why do I need to be so OCD, and that’s a lot of bulldog clips!

Absolutely!

Fitted the new rear wheel cylinder and brake shoes to the passenger side, stopped a weeping issue by adding new thermostat gaskets and wired Mpi volt and oil clocks in. 

 

Had a wiring issue which had me pulling my hair out for a few hours. Finally sorted the bugger out in the end, mind.

Adjusted and fitted the dash back together. Which I did better than ever this time as I made some adjustments, and added some new fuses.
