I keep forgetting to get pics, but I got all the choke cable connected up, seat belts in, fitted a few grommets in places to try and get it bit more water tight. I finally sorted the hazzard issue and got them to flash now rather then just stay on, Although I'm still having an issue with one indicator, finished fitting the window winders,

 

Jobs to do

 

Bleed clutch

Sort headlights and side lights

Get it running nicely,

Get tracking done

Double check everything is tights and as it should be

MOT!

Right clutch is now bled, Found issue with headlights to be the stalks to new stalks ordered, tracking is being done in the morning, I think the reason for the rough running is the electronic ignition has blown for a new one of those is on order from power spark,

Update, New stalks came, Fitted and sorted the head light issue but now the indicators have stopped working which is fantastic.

 

 

I also can't get the bloody thing to run any more at all so no idea whats happened there, I have now got another (the 3rd) electronic ignition to try,

 

I have finally got the heater fitted though with a bit of help from my old man he knocked up a bracket for it.

Needs bit of wiring to finish it off but the idea is it will just be wired in to that on/off push switch where the heater cable normally is.

 

Thats about it really, Cause of the running issues not a lot has happened to it recently.

Well not updated this in a while, A lot has happened, but the most important bit is it passed an MOT and is now on the road. Its first run out was to castle combe

Still loads of bits that need finishing but after being without a mini for about 3 years it feels great to be behind the wheel of one again!
