All of this brings a tear to my eye.... :'(

I love my mini.

The way I see it I have two options...

#1 - Sell it on to someone who has the space to fix it for a lower price....

OR

#2 - Spend another 20 quid or so on a flywheel remover tool.... which I may be able to make at uni on the Water jet cutter (if anyone has the right sizes???)
Check the damage ..... if the flywheel comes off... then i can do a engine rebuild..... if its stuck on the crank... then I haven't got the right tools or space to try and cut it out...

I think you guys are right... loose bolt + loose flywheel = sad times..

The mechanic will just deny it!

Good news is the engine still works....

So annoyed as I just fitted it with Weber 45s and didn't even get to test them out properly! :s

Thanks guys... I'll let you know what happens..
If you see an ad on ebay soon of a project car, don't be surprised....
