Started the day full of good intention, to get some work done on the mini. :roll: :roll: :roll:

Pushed her out've the shed, washed her and thats about as far as i got :oops: :( !!! (but dayum, she looks good all shiny and clean :lol: !!)

Am procrastinating over what to do next (or where to start!!!). Thinking its best i get an auto elect out, who can have a look at ALL the wiring for me, sort out what should be where, before i go and stick the dash altogether properly. I've managed to place most of the dash wiring together, but there's wires'n'stuff that i don't know anything about, so am gunna leave it to someone who does me thinks!!

So kinda back at square one really :cry: :cry: !!

Ive been busy getting my newly purchased Mini Matic cleaned up. It lasted the trip from Melb to Sydney and back.. so thats a good start.

Tonight I re-installed the driver side window winder mechanism and new window weather strips.

Tomorrow I aim to replace the wheel cylinders on the 66 Deluxe.

Drove it to work.
Checked under it before coming home, and woohoo! there's no crank seal oil leak any more! (yes kiddies there is oilz in it...)
I guess the NOS seal in the NOS belt drive kit has finally softened up with the run to Wakefield Pk and back. 8)
