Reinstall tomorrow as young bloke has had a couple of big days at work and CBF doing it now.

So I'm taking the opportunity to do a bit of interior cleaning with Orange Agent and Vinyl Care.



And it's beer o'clock.

Nice car and it will be very fun to drive... Though how has it been mechanically? These cars have very tight engine bays and things do go wrong on them...

We've had to deal with lower control arm bushes and power steering pump.

Yes, very cramped bay.

I remember the 1970s Minis and it only took about an hour to pull the engine out. They were pretty cramped back then and not much to them.

Though these modern Mini's are quite difficult to maintain as there's the modern technologies, in such a tight engine bay

Aside from the shape and look, the only similarity is the name.



And the central speedo.
A month or so back my nephew and I drove his 70's mini in a scavenger hunt type event run by the local classic car club.
It was alot of fun. The old mini is pretty cool.
