Continued getting the 1100 engine in, and various associated bit's and pieces. Got most of it done today. Still need to do a few more things before it is ready to fire up.

Bought 15 Litres of degreaser for the parts washer and started to clean the Cooper S engine and parts.
Dropped the crankshaft off for a check at Mini Classic and a possible regrind and visited GR in his Aladdins cave to talk about camshaft grinds.

Drained out the old Castrol Edge 25W/50 and put in KMX 20W/50. It's winter.... (brrrrrrrr).
Charge light was on dimly so I changed the V regulator inside the 17ACR alternator. All good now, has nearly 14V with the lights on.

I had to touch it Been rubbing back the engine bay after Por15 and a number of coats of Enamal. I had already polished the fire wall to bling but I could still see Orange Peal so started running it back further. where are these white flects comming from, all over it. I think it was from one of the cheaper rattle cans I used.
Why did I touch it

Stop Licking the Dog...I Don't Care Who Started It

Pumped up the suspension using SGC's hydro pump... after I discovered that my grease gun had a leak and all the hydro fluid from the car squirted out all over me.

Took the car for a drive around the block, retorqued everything up, adjusted the toe out. Now all I have to do is try and correct the torque steer.... I mean suspension and steering geometry and get used to the induction noise.

I looked at my two today in the garage still covered in mud from the Mini Nationals last weekend.

Maybe if I keep looking long enough the mud might fall off by itself.........
