Loving the new colour on those wheels. Much classier than the gold.

I like to think so as well

Well, I am now in possession of a Hardy Spicer setup thanks to Tim in Australia - much effort went into piecing this together and I can't thank him enough 

 

One more item for the diff setup is yet to arrive.

Definitely!

Not a lot of progress lately - simply no time.

 

I did receive a brand new Smiths volt gauge as a freebie from a generous Mini owner who had one condition - he has to see the car running in person. Happy with that!

 

 

Also, I got myself a birthday present in the form of these MED 1.3:1 roller rockers :

 

 

They'll be attached to the 1000S cylinder head that has currently gone for an unleaded conversion, some flow work, new guides and valve stem seals. It'll be a little while until I get that back.

 

Lastly, the twin carb setup is now done! I just need to get a new heat shield and springs, as well as redo the jet on the LHS carb, but rather happy with the result :

One day I think I'll get myself a nice set of rockers like those ones. They look so pretty!

With a shiny HRG rocker cover? 

[Vinay-RS]

Now that I think about it, I need to get one of those cool looking rocker covers too. Also something to do once I get to the end of the current set of upgrades.

Motortune cover

I fitted some new plastic master cylinders because I wasn't too confident about the fix I made on them; I just know they would have leaked. I covered them back up with the yellow faces.

 

This picture also makes me slightly embarrassed about the wiring in the engine bay. Definitely need that sorted . . .
