Hello, Its been a while, been busy and to be honest kind of forgot about this forum, since it changed from Cruisewirral I have very rarey been active and I don't know why. So I guess its time for abit of refreshment and blow away the cobwebs from the thread! I havent worked on her much lately, just been out enjoying her, had a problem with the starter motor bendix sticking and had it out and fixed it! Not much else in the way of problems, well to be honest...nothing. Not bad after standing for nearly 10 years and now being used as a daily driver! ![[Linked Image]](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b12/tomlund7/Mini%20City/DSC00370.jpg) Just recently bought a fibreglass bonnet, I am going to bonnet pin it down, but keep it hinged therefore the pins will be based more towards the top of the bonnet. I hope to refurbish the dorrs this summer as they are in need of some attention! Thats all really. Im back. Tom

Thanks guys, shes idling abit fast, could do with a tune really, but apart from that shes great! The 850's abit sluggish, but I have to start somwhere, a 998 would be a good upgrade for me at a later stage or possibly 1071, 1275, 1293, 1300, 1380, 1430!
All is well so far, if it aint' broke don't fix it!

Started fitting the fibreglass bonnet today, made up some brackets and shaped them to fit, without fouling the radiator. (Left-hand bracket shaped to miss the radiator) ![[Linked Image]](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b12/tomlund7/Mini%20City/DSC00110.jpg) As you can see, the old bonnet was completely shot! ![[Linked Image]](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b12/tomlund7/Mini%20City/DSC00505.jpg) As the fibreglass bonnet will be hinged, I have put the bonnet pins towards the top middle section of the bonnet: ![[Linked Image]](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b12/tomlund7/Mini%20City/DSC00108.jpg) Not such a bad fit: ![[Linked Image]](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b12/tomlund7/Mini%20City/DSC00501.jpg) Need to give it a light sand, align the pins and drill the hole and give it some paint. Tom
