done the same on the offside today, but i managed to remember the oil seal so the whole job only took an hour

things left to do -

* finish wiring
* fit master cylinder and bleed brakes
* bleed clutch master cylinder
* fit exhaust from manifold back
* fit front indicators and headlamp bezels
* fit gear linkage

then try and start the engine for the 1st time in nearly 3 years since it was rebuilt

nice day today so done a couple more bits, managed to bleed the brakes and clutch, fit the expansion tank and bracket which required new holes on the inner wing, ecu and bracket all fitted aswell

still have the exhaust to fit and a couple of cosmetic bits like the grill and bonnet, apart from that its ready to start and just in time, my insurance runs out on the 1st of december and i got a different car i will be using instead so it will be sale time for the cabriolet

did you sell this buddy?
lovrly mini cab by the way

[Miniowner123]

nah I still have it, i'm planning on using it until L2B this year and putting it up for sale

totally forgot about the project thread as i was in the middle of moving house, its all complete now and running though

ah cool
is it turbo'd yet?
how come the change of name fella?

[Miniowner123]

with so many projects and the house move decided I needed to sell this so the most cost effective thing was to fit my freshly rebuilt mpi engine and the turbo engine is currently being built up to fit to my mpi project (link in sig)

username used to be a nickname and wanted to get away from it, so used my actual name instead, so people know im not a fella
