With work travel and the holidays, I haven’t taken time to post much other than updates to the photolog linked on the project page. �While the Mini doesn’t look much different on the outside, there has been a lot of progress underneath. �I spent several weekends in a row working out the remaining issues with the electrical system. �I now have fully functional head lights, tail lights, and turn signals. �I’ve also spent a lot of time on the mechanicals lately. �I went through the process of connecting up the brakes, filling & bleeding the lines and testing only to find out a few days later that the old brake cylinders had given out and puked all over the floor. �(more parts from the internet) �While I was waiting on that, I got some help with the engine from a buddy�with classic british car experience. �We got the rockers gapped, set the timing on the engine, hooked up some gauges and serviced the carbs. �I also washed out the refurbished fuel tank with acetone and got it prepped for install. �During that process, I also figured out that I needed yet another couple of holes in the trunk floor. �Done and done! �We didn’t get a chance to try and start the engine yet, but that’ll be coming soon. �We were also blocked by a spark issue (as in lack thereof) that would have been a show stopper that day anyway. �This probably means more parts! 🙂
