finally got the flat spot from the megajolt ignition sorted. the bracket required some adjustment to get the right tooth in front of the sensor, was about 8 degrees out!

drill here, file there, all good now!

My greatest fear in life is that when I die my wife will sell my Mini and tools for the price I told her I paid for them!

changed needle from BEJ to BCE. Car runs much better now! idles better, pulls harder. nice.

installed a shiny alloy rocker cover, which had to be adjusted with the dremel to clear the two cylinder head studs. looks much nicer than the bare metal rusted steel one which was on it before. My engine bay looks 'alf decent now.

No, it didn't have any pinging that I could hear...

Removed the door lock bits (again!) last week, so i could get lock looked at(key wouldn't come out when locked!) ol matey jiggled it a bit and it worky again. Figures ! Such a minor detail, but was a real PITA!

Why don't those little suckers go in as easy as they came out!?!?!

Now contemplating how i'm going to make a new dash for her. How/what/where to freaking start !

Stared at the clubby, yep battery flat again

Sorted out some exess mini parts lying around, gotta keep the wife happy sometimes. (Secret is looking for a moke but she don't know about it yet) and by pretending to rid of exess stuff im actually making room

Pulled her dash apart and took photos of her bits for a fello Ausminier then put her back together again

I fitted my new boot carpet I got off Evilbay.. I like it.

My daughter drives our Mini K full time, she parked it outside a friends house last night, and her friends dad backed into it, putting a decent dent in the front guard and breaking the Cooper S flare. So spent the afternoon
looking at it and also adjusted all 4 brakes as the pedal was getting low.
Might see if one of these PDR guys can get the dent out without having to respray the guard and buy a replacement flare and just paint the flare.

Made the side skirts for my body kit 20mm longer so they fit.
I will put up some photos in the gallery when I have the time.
