Life gets in the way

My mini is still in the garage waiting for some attention, well to be more precise an engine.

The car was moved to it's garage prison soon after the gearbox failed. I quickly brought a Metro with a 1275cc A Series engine in it as a temporary replacement. My wife was not too impressed, whoever styled the Metro was not thinking of the image conscious when he put pen to paper.

My intension was to do an engine swap, that was some time ago.

The good news is I had an enjoyable weekend in the summer removing both engines. The eyesore that was the metro was removed by a nice man with a big grabber arm on his truck, (Great Toy!!).

The bad news is the project hasn't got any further.

Free time has been my biggest problem, weekends seem to get soaked up with stuff. The stuff isn't necessarily bad, infact it's excellent quality stuff and normally involves entertaining my young daughters.

Things have got to get moving again, I need to hear that 1275 fire up.
