With the fun weather nearly over, are you doing anything with your mini over winter?

I did have plans for EFI work, but I think i'm just going to stop at getting the 'lack of boost' turbo problem sorted, and a freshen-up of the engine and tranny. May switch back to 1.25 rockers, or back to a MG Metro cam - not made my mind up yet...
