pictures pictures pictures !

i remember this from my mini before finishing it the little things cost a bomb and mount up quickly as you think its only a couple o quid

nearly there................... glad youve found some time to work on your own :)

Hiya mate :)

I,m planning on applying for the test in the next 2 weeks or so....plan is test at end of March, if it fails, get a quick retest ( fingers crossed ) then hopefully I,ll have it road registered during April in time for driving it to Stoneleigh :cool: ( only a year late.......ask Ash LOL).

I,ve bought some brand new calipers ...yes I know.......bought something NEW :eek: & would like to fit them before the test, sooooooooo how do you fancy sitting in the car pumping the pedal for me again please ? let me know when you,re free :o

cheers for the offer of help .

cheers

I,ve decided to hold off putting up any more pictures, until its finished, then I,ll post loads of photos :D

Cheers Rob, I took your advice .......now work on my car without fail ..Fri, Sat & Sunday

Spud was over my place today, he,s seen the progress :p

All will be revealed in the next few weeks :)

cheers
andy

free saturday afternoon so far - or sunday sometime maybe - got nothing planned yet - still working on my car to get that ready for stoneleigh but should be a lot less to do..

Thanks mate, sunday would be good for me :)

I,ve fitted the new calipers today, so will just be a case of bleeding the brakes again.....I must say the calipers look verrrrrrrry nice :)

cheers

Fill the cylinder to the top and open the bleed nipples and let it drip out of the calipers,you may be suprised and get a good pedal. Works for me most times.

You can imagine how many brake pipes I do running an MOT station :rolleyes:

Two set's today :eek:

Cheers Paul, I,ll give that a go,

I,ve only ever done the "pedal down, release the bleed nipple, nip it up again, release pedal" method before on cars :o

Soooooooooo much easier on bikes where I can reach the lever or the brake pedal whilst bleeding the caliper :D

cheers
andy

send me a text andy if you still need a hand ill pop over sunday afternoon

A BIG thanks to forum member "Tex", who came over & helped me bleed my brakes today, got a nice pedal pressure , tho I think I,m going to install new brakes shoes in the drums before the test,

Took it for a little test run, and now have the front brakes locking up before the back, it felt GGGGGrreat to drive it again :D .

Cockpit is all finished & I think it looks really smart :p

Just the bonnet catches & some more edging trim to fit & make the tub lid & its done :cool: :cool:

Sorry if I,ve been quiet on the forum ( you all sigh .....enjoying the peace eh ), I,ve just been really busy finishing my car.

cheers
andy

No problem at all mate! Many minds fix a problem. Just gotta get the wheels pointing all the same direction now. :-)
