Hey Simon. I must say I am always excited when you put a new set of pictures up. Your project is such a tidy and skilled job and gives me lots of inspiration to get on with mine. I will hopefully be at Avon in person this year (but im afraid the Mini wont be done this summer, maybe Avon 2012 for me haha).

unbelievable attention to detail! Thanks mate but it's not that neat if you seen it in the flesh, the car is starting to look a little tired around the edges now. Ok, I did not get as much done as i would have liked today some pics. The IC all tiged up and fitted. 
The Rocker breather pipes are on and sprayed up. 
More parts of the breather setup. 
Swirl pot started. 
And started putting the dash back in and doing the electrics but my head was killing so i called it a day there. I will get it done this week in the evenings when I get home from work to unwind 
that's me for now readers. Thanks simon. Edited by madmk1 on 17th Apr, 2011. I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf
