Bennoz, a guy at work has posted up a list on the notice board of workshop manuals that he is selling. In the list is a manual for 1961 - 1971 Mini, there is also one for a Galant but I can't remember the year.
I was just wondering if you would like me to make any enquiries for you, ie; price, brand, condition etc.

No thanks mate, I have all the manuals. Original ones too I've even got the dealers colour chart that my old man ripped out of the salemans binder whern he wasn't looking way back in 1969

Some progress piccies. Almost finished the diff install. Had to grind the c@nt of the case to fit it in

Nice progress.

Nasty gouges meanwhile!

Match ported the exhaust. Will put more detailed pics up later, had to remove quite a bit of metal from both the pipes & the gasket seeing as the head ports are so big.

Am I seeing something wrong or is the ring gear of the diff inside the engine block??

The engine & box/diff are one unit. So yes

I guess they really had to employ some space saving measures to make it so small

Its a neat little package of rubbish British steel, yes

Did some more work this arvo, match ported the extractors to the new head. Fucked a gasket in doing so, but that's a small sacrifice for flow

Then tested fitted the carb as well, now the painstaking process of finding the right (or as close to) carb jets & emulsion tubes etc can begin so it will at least start.

very nice work with the extractors.

Looking good

Started the unenviable task of swapping sub frames today. Going from hydrospastic to dry cone with adjustable hi-lo's & spax coilovers.

It's so cute!

I never saw an MR2 with ladies trailer win the Monte Carlo rally 3 years in a row!

And besides, my plan for a cute little trailer involves cutting the backside out of another mini

Here's my trailer idea

Thats f*cking awesome hahaha!

now you have to do that!

So jealous of your mini i love it.
