I didn't do much this weekend, apart from getting the clutch cover cleaned up :

Painstakingly updated every single image link for this thread for anyone that does follow it or find it interesting.

Good job, Jared. What image hosting site are you now using?

I'm using imgur now. Seems like many are.

I've done a little bit of cleaning lately when I've had free time and motivation. I also removed the diff in preparation of the swap to HS joints. I thought I had bought a pair of the fibre washers, but as it turns out, I didn't. I did clean up the diff housing and greased up the arms etc. No play whatsoever and it moves freely now with fresh grease.

I also had the minion dipstick turned down a bit to fit the hole, as well as change the o-rings. Fits nice and snug now. I just have a few small bits left to clean on the gearbox and clutch housing, then I'll be happy.

Top stuff!
I ended up taking the time to create sub albums on Imgur and uploading most of the pictures to the site in private albums. I need to still add stuff for the Mini runs and meets, so that I can update old posts which had some cool images on them too.

I wanted to do sub albums, but when you have close on 500 images to select from for the project alone, I decided against it. Took me long enough to update the thread as it is.

Did you end up needing to download the photos from photobucket or were they stored on your computer too?

Backed up on the computer and DropBox.

That's good. Definitely a worthwhile idea to have multiple backups. Especially after what happened with photobucket and other similar image hosting sites beforehand.

Making decent progress man.

What's left on the motor still to complete?
