Picked a purple paint with the panel beater yesterday........hopefully send mini to him at the end of the week for damage control !

Busted pinkie finger trying to pull doors apart..........is there a special trick i don't know about for getting the windows out of doors?!?!?! I dont have a how-to-guide-for-dumb-chicks for this, am kinda flyin' blind, and gotta get all chrome and glass off/out of it in the next day or two!

Pulled subframes out on Convertible mini, pulled everything else off, gonna finish pulling bits off subframes tonight then strip them back and paint them up a nice shiny black. Hmm...shiny...

Not sure what to do ith the shell - strip myself or get it blasted. I'll see how bored i get after doing the subframes.

Scrubbed the whole body down with marine clean and started treating the bare metal with metal ready.

Pumped up the suspension on my Cooper S as it was sitting on the bump stops. Recently purchased pump worked a treat, although the vacuum pump doesnt work. Doesn't seem to need the vacuum prior to pumping.

Purchased pump from another ausmini member a few months ago. I am happy cause I now have my own pump ... and the pressure gauge works. Just need to find some one in Sydney who can give it a service and possibly fix the vacuum pump.

I did a bit more metal prep ahead of etch priming the body. Had a lazy day and took my bike for a ride instead of treating rust.

You should put your heart & soul into everything you do.

Took my Cooper S for a drive after the engine rebuild and fixed the clutch problem.
Brilliant!
Best its been for 2 years since last rebuild.
Replaced the Camshaft, RE13 to replace the Kent Megadyne 286, now has power just below 2000rpm.
Gearbox and gear selection is great. Nice and smooth since I replaced the clutch housing gasket with the correct thickness and provided the idler gear with approx 7 thou clearance.
Pumped up the suspension and it now rides a lot smoother as it is not sitting on the bump stops.
Very Happy.
Now I'm off to the UK for 4 weeks to check out the IMM 2009 and a few mini shows.
Just hope it stops raining while we are camped at the IMM.
