I fitted and wired a Stealth Black box and mapped my own Advance curve. So Easy. First you need to lock the distributor weights so they do not move and advance the distributor any more. The box does it all with Magic. First you install the program on your PC as it comes with a Disc then plug in the Box and map your curve and dwell angle throughout the rev range. Unplug from Computer and plug it back in the car. If you don't like the curve do the same again So Simple. I love it. I just received more Stealth Kits for stock. anyone wants any?

Pity the software it comes with won't talk to current Mac OSX, or Windows 8 up...!
So, I had to use my ancient desktop PC running XP, with 3x USB cables strung together to reach the car! :lol:

I have mine mounted so I can remove it from the car in seconds and plug in into the desktop.
I also have an old notepad that I can use in the car.

Mounted this Mk.2 'S' body shell onto a rotisserie. Now it's ready for paint stripping, then some panelwork and paint before the rebuild begins.

I drove it to work to blow the cobwebs out. It could really do with a wash though!

Some careful reshaping of the alloy remote housing was necessary to fit the collector without the housing fouling the pipes.

Fitted an 850 grille to my 850. It needs to be rechromed in the future.
Did a bit of brute force bending of the bonnet to make it line up better with the mud guards.

I reversed it out of the garage for the first time in a year to get to some boxes.

Can someone please sell me some free time so I can get these two minis on the road?

The one I "drove" today has been in the shed more than 3 years and still isn't registered. If I wasn't so tight I'd take it to the Miniman to sort out so I could register it.

Put the restored front subframe in my '69 Mk2 so the front grille panel can be spotted welded in.

Put my 1989 Rover mayfair on Ebay for sale.

Its time for me to sell off all my Rover mini parts.

I have just about finished restoration of my 1967 mini ute & 1966 moke.
