well back from southam today they sorted my brakes, they are still craptacular but thats because there drums, ill get used to them and ill be changing to disks soon enough

well also had it RR'ed and got about 45bhp from an 1098 with maniflow stage 1....is that good?

painted 1 sill aswell and just off out again

[miniboo]

45 at the wheels? is good.

then again even it it is 45 at the fly then it is good aswell

with 1098's they are not high BHP motors, they are TORQUE motors...
What was the torque?

freeking tired, iv painted both sills and floor and the rest,
fitted new bushs to the lower engine mount
smoothed the rear valacne lip where i put a little fibreglass on to make it look not as *******
after that it was dark so naturaly i washed it (as most people do who does it in the sun!!!!)
then i dried the valance and lip so that i could paint it.
i rewarded my work with apple pie and strongbow!

Well, the work you have to do isn't too bad Mini93. Looks like it's come on well so far!

Good luck with the repair jobs!



Oooh, nice pics!

[mini93]

lol yep no phone pics here!!!

tie bars are fitted now

and for some wierd reason washer pumps working, i took the hose from bottle to pump side out blew down it and a tiny bit of black was on there so i guess that was the cause
and the brake pipe isnt touching the body directly now

woop! off to the MOT station now for them to do there jobs!

[BabyBek]
