Not much of an update on work that I have done.
I wasn't keen to try and fix the brake booster and rebuild a gearbox (figured I'd mess it up). So, I asked Stuart (aka Mini'formance) to rebuild the gearbox for me. Also got a clutch and brake company to rebuild the brake booster for me.
Dropped off the car with Stuart this week to get it some much needed TLC.
Fit the gearbox, replace the timing chain cover with one with a breather (and timing chain if needed), fix the top engine steady brackets, spray paint the firewall, fit the brake booster, plumb up the breather pipes, fit the smaller washer bottle.
Inside the car, fit a heater, radio, speakers, sort out the electrical issues, and fit the parcel shelf box thing (which I picked up and fixed up at a swap meet last week.) Also got some front grille reflectors.
Quite excited to see what the outcome of all the work is.
