Well it's finally happened, it's alive and registered , thanks to John and Glenn at the mini king as they took the car under their wing for the last two weeks and helped me finish it before I had to get a blue slip!. I still have to do a few little things to complete the build but it's 99% finished and I can't stop smiling , driving it is like chaulk and cheese compared to the 998, the torque is amazing , it's the first time I have experienced torque steer (without trying), in a mini....and I'm addicted . Again, a big thanks to John and Glenn for their help and last but not least, thanks GR for building an awsome motor .

Hey Gerg, did you get it going today. By the way new clutch in mine is great.

Question the rocker cover is not one I have seen before and needs to be blinged also while Im on it you Alternator need a good clean up also

I'm I guessing you have a rod change
Does you Choke and Accelator Cables rub on the bonnet

Yeh, its back on the road again Neil, thanks to a nice set of K-lines from GR , and the rocker cover is a brushed alloy look Jim, and thats the way it's staying... , and yes there is still a little polishing and pain ting to do under the bonnet so it will meet with your approval soon . As for the cabels hitting the bonnet, I'll have to check that but I don't think so.
