Huge feeling of relief now that we have the Miglia engine running. Even starts first flick of the switch and idles well.

That is when the starter decides to engage. There is always something else to fix.

Just another three cars to finish :(

I've hit the 98% wall. Need to get it sorted for 'Avon' what ever that might turn into.

I hadn't touched my mini since about October. Now I can't keep out the garage! It's been a good excuse for not going the pub and getting pissed at the weekend 😄

Cold weather and a lack of light and power in my garage is stifling my progress.

I also have funding issues :(

Hopefully all these issues will be solved in the next couple of months then as long as I can find the motivation it should be all systems go.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Trying to get the thing ready for paint, it's possibly the most boring job I've done so far,
Then there's the temptations of nights out, a BSA project and kitesurfing.
