Hey all well alot has happened since my last post but unfortunately it's all been things other than my mini lol first things first I actually managed to dislocate my knee cap at work so that put a sudden halt to all my plans it's been a long road to recovery but I'm back at work now and I've found some motivation for the mini again even tho time is scarce at the moment as I've got a year's worth of other things to catch up on to lol.
Mini has now got some more primer on it and is almost ready for a quick sand down before some top coat can get sprayed on

Dude no way. I'm sorry you are going through health stuff, it is the worst.

Hope for a quick recovery and hope to see those new frames out there.

Another job on the list that Ive been meaning to do for ages was change the expansion tank as the current one has gone brittle and even got a hole in. So old one removed

Wondering if an admin could move this build over to the new nissan section please

Still doing little bits to my mini when I get time :) managed to fit all the glass back in which is a job I've been dreading but actually it all went back in quite easily!

Drove the mini out of my workshop as I needed the ramp for working on my pickup, mini drove absolutely fine so parked it up in my barn whilst I finished welding and undersealing my truck. Couple weeks later went to bring the mini back into the workshop to finish refitting interior but it wouldn't start suspected fuel pump failure but will have to investigate. Managed to tow and push it back into the workshop tho. More updates to follow

Upon further inspection no fuel is coming out the outlet from the fuel pump so its definitely failed. Time to remove the tank and fit my new Walbro pump that I bought a while back. Also ordered new gaskets etc so once they arrive ill carry on but for now the tank is out
