Yes its nice on carbs. Glass doesn't strip the zinc off the nuts and bolts either.

Bought another. Well not a 'Mini', as such.

Well you can't just leave us hanging, do tell or better yet pics

I should have it at the Mill, if you're lucky!

It's a work in progress.

I will be there if I am lucky

Everything crossed.
Good weather for it.
We will miss you if you aren't able to make it.
But I'll take plenty of photos of all the cars if you can't!

Updated my sig to resemble the current state of the car...

Sounds like a terrible problem to have. Wheel spin AND a spare MK2S box

Stripes look the goods. You would have to watch your step with those tailpipes sticking out that far. Trip over and scalp your shins!

I'd been having a problem with the clubby sometimes not wanting to start.... no power coming from the battery.
All i had to do to fix it, was wiggle the battery cables/terminals to sort it out.

so on Sunday I took the terminals off the wire and cleaned them up... cleaned the gunk out of the copper wires... then put the terminals back on.

since then... the 6 or so times i've driven it to/from work, sport, home its seems to have started up alot better and seems to be smoother at low revs.

am I just imaging it? or could a cleaner connection to the battery actually improve things like this?

Yes it can you should have put the lead in boiling water or acid then vinigar

Acid would have made the thing like new

I was inspired by the talk between Mick and Morris1100 a month or so ago and finally sorted out a sandblasting cabinet. Still need to tidy up a few things with it but its a good start at least.

Now I just need to finish the rebuild off of my second compressor so I can keep up the air to it!
