Chris,

What sort of rims do you need??? We have a large collection of various Mini wheels.

Do you have a pic of what you're after?

The car looks GREAT. Another Clubby back on the road :lol: :lol:

Looks really good, love the 70s interior. I saw a Sunshine near uni a few weeks back, I was going to tell you but i sorta forgot. Anyway.

It was all original, red like yours, quite nice, mature owner... myabe in his 50s or so.

Anyway it had those Sunshine stickers on both sides and under the rear window, like on the top of that panel.

Didn't see the front unfortunately.

Looks good. I reckon your alternator needs some bling.

You're not running an air filter?

great news chris,, did you go to see george at smithfield?? I went down there today to get a pink slip for mine :D

I think i know the perfect way to blow the cobwebs out too, bring it for a cruise down to wakefield and watch us go around the track, or even join in :shock:

Good one Chris
Just one question though - did you borrow Anton's spray gun before he got to clean it ?????

*s*
Glad GR fixed your dizzy - I had a spare late model 10 degree advance (without vacuum advance) if you needed it
