Ive done all the work myself, except for the top coat. I didnt take the engine out by myself, I got help off my boyfriend and stepdad with that, but its hard to take an engine out by yourself!

Hehe, shes absolutely filthy Shes not been washed for ages and she covered in dust and mucky finger prints

I got my list yesterday of stuff I need! No idea how much its going to cost me though, I need to ring Min-its and get them to price it up and see if they have everything in stock, then I can go get all the stuff!

My engine and block needs to be sent off to be machined which is going to delay the engine being built back up a bit. I reckon its still going to be a month or so until its been rebuilt as the guys doing it in his spare time. She'll be back on the road just intime for the gritting!

[sazal]

After yesterday, I am now £270 lighter



It doesnt look like £270 pounds worth

We also went to the motorcycle museum, but didnt go round it, but I went in the gift shop and bought these!

[wolfys_mini]

note too sazal: ask dan! i have boxes of gaskets you could have had

what did you get for your 270 notes?

[sazal]

Clutch kit
Piston rings
2 inlet valves
2 ex. valves
Mains
Thrusts
Head gasket kit
Sump kit
Kelvar bypass hose
plugs
upper and lower balljoint kits

...and a gear knob for rons car!



Now to get that engine back together...and paint it yellow!

[wolfys_mini]

thats not a bad lot of bits for the money. especially from min-its.

[sazal]

Min-its are quite reasonably priced, its my fav mini shop! The 2 guy thats run it are really friendly and know there stuffs!!

I dropped all the bits down at the garage yesterday The guys going to degrease the engine so I can paint it before he rebuilds it!

[wolfys_mini]

sometimes they are, sometimes they arent

yeah they always want to chat when you want to go home

[sazal]

Still no progress on the engine front The guys not been too well, so ive told him to leave it until hes feeling better Im off down to the garage tomorrow though to spend the day degreasing the block and head and then I shall paint them yellow!

So ill update with some piccys when I can!
