Well, this must be almost up to date now...does that mean you're gonna start doing more to the car to keep the threads updated?

nearly tho Ive still got a lot more photos to do an also update the one's i haven't uploaded yet but yeas as you know i need my new wiring loom an spare metal or lots of money before i can really start gutting an replacing bits

A little way away...he does mail order too though, new and used bits, just in case Mini Spares don't have what you want.

very nice I'll keep that in mind if i cant find it on minispares (tho i do get 7.5% off everything on minispares which helps )

heyoo so i spent all day cleaning up the ground connection and also stripping a room in the house and stripping the interior then cleaning and storing it to protect it from mould etc

my brilliant idea to seal the top vent on the fuel tank a load of electrical tape and my old rotary arm



my solar panels set up to charge the minis battery



side indicator on my solar bag showing input voltage from the panels, it did reach up to 13.8v which the solar charge box regulates and charges the battery accordingly



and simple crocodile clips to connect to the battery



the ground connection bolt hole looking a little worse for wear



after sanding back the surface rust and i did coat it in a dab of hammerite paint to tid me over till i sort the rest of the boot just making sure my ground is fine for testing the electrics later



removed the seats



rather poor condition bolt holes for the seats...sorry for the blurred shots









the room i cleared 6 desktops 3 laptops 2 ps3's and an assortment of broken junk from to make space for my mini's bits



my interior all laid out after being hoovered and sprayed with cleaners and mould protection



the once clear room now filled with most of my interior for storage whilst i work on the body and electrics

how i left the mini after clearing up with fading light
