Very nice
Is that pearl on the roof ?

Just a little pearl to match the Mica in the red, otherwise the roof looks a bit flat.

Came home to a bunch of goodies for the Mk2 resto!

Full Mk2 S sticker kit.

Full set of 5x LP883's.

got it in the garage and on to the trickle charger.

Upcoming - oil and brake/clutch fluid change.

Otherwise still as good as the day it went on holidays!

It was a pleasure ausmini. I'll miss all you misfits and reprobates

Turned my 12ft tinny's boat trailer into a Mini boat trailer.
It now sports a pair of KYB Mini front shocks. No more bouncing...

Installed new pistons in block. Just taking my time. Project is one huge jigsaw puzzle, finding the correct bits searching though many different containers, is a challenge.

Into the spray booth yesterday

Tubbed the rear on the 67 Deluxe. Ready for 13's. And yes 13's do look the best.
(I have had 10 x 4's, 10 x 5's, 12 x 5's and 13 x 7' in the past)

For a Cooper S you would want to stay with the stock 10's but I am sick of people telling me how terrible 13's are on a mini (Tram lining, early bearing failure, poor handling) all rubbish.
Only downside that I have experienced is the steering is a little heavier. As for handling, bugger all difference. Lets face it, these cars are not really quick enough to push the limits of any of the wheel and tyre options if set up property. Each to their own though!

Bought new mirrors (already in transit, way to go minisport) and ordered a new set of Yokohamas to fit to my new purchase (73 Panelvan coming home very soon).
Argued with the wife as to why i get to buy a running registered mini for me while hers is still in pieces.
Looked at more parts and found some self control (for now).

I have been running 36mm chokes in my 45 Dellorto since before fitting the Accuspark black box 3? years ago. Because everybody said these are best.
But just for fun I refitted the 38 chokes 2 weeks ago and found it goes much harder.
36 might work best in a Weber, but not in this. It has torque steer in lower gears now.
Note it's got a race head and big ported manifold.

Finally removed my engine from my Mk 2 S and stripped it down for inspection.
Forgot to drain the sump-now have old oil all over the floor!
This is the motor I "ran in" years ago using GTX oil. That was a costly mistake!
