What did I do today on my mini? Not much really, except pull my son's head out of the speedo hole when he got it stuck! I pulled it out of the shed so I can tidy up and make more room and thought I'd let the kids play in it. This photo is actually of the second time he did it except this time he stopped short of putting his chin through which was the reason he got stuck on the first attempt

And here's his sister trying to push his head in for another attempt

Stripped and rebuilt some top arms ready for paint. These are for my Mini K Project. Used a vice to squeeze in the new bearings. Easy!!

Started re-wiring everything behind the dash to;
1 - Find the dead short that's on the wrong side of the fuses.
2 - Clean it up & make everything neat.
