Glenn's Garage

Just a quick update today.  Front end is all done and I've moved onto the rear wheel.  When I pulled down the original wheel I found that the rim was heavily buckled:

No saving that, so I bought an aftermarket rim that is 99% the same.  After rebuilding the hub, I laced it into the new rim.

Here's a vid I took of that process - a good excuse to test out the time lapse app on my new phone!

Should have it back on it's wheels in the coming days.  Then its just a matter of the rear caliper, front master cylinder and the decals.  Then, I can finally get stuck into my Mini race car project again!
