super!


Had a small photo sesh today, just parked up and took a few photo's. The lighting isn't brilliant as the weather was slightly overcast. Would have been alot better if I had a clean car and sunny weather. I'll be buying the suspension rubbers asap so I can lower this *woman of ill repute*! :proud:

I haven't much to report I'm afraid. I have just assembled the Duplex timing chain correctly, next is to fit the oil pump and clean up a few parts. All being well, the gearbox is currently being rebuilt. I'll be using a 3:44 diff.

Reverted back to the original 'S' setup, doing away with the chain tensior for reliability.

ETA: It seems I have more to update than first thought, I haven't updated this thread in a long while. I have cleaned up, modified and painted several of the engine components and fixtures.

Fully painted and lacquered:

Hi guys n gals, been working on the mini some more due to the decent weather as of late. I have made a fair bit of progess since my last update. I fitted the oil pump today & also sprayed the engine block and a few other bits
