Cool picture! Don't have one to share right now, mostly been trying to reorganize (got the Mini to a better spot in the garage out of one of the daily driver spots) and eliminate some clutter.

Wish I had more chance to do some work on a car over the weekend but will make a note to post one when that happens.

What’s in the box Dan?
Did you buy a new fuel pump?

Please do! By the way if you ask me.. De-cluttering and organizing counts as a project! Lets see that mini in its new spot!

I removed the ridiculous ECCO fuel pump and $5 fuel regulator from underneath the car and installed a brand new copper fuel line and SU fuel pump in the originally intended locations. It didnt cure my acceleration miss, so I'm reloading the "parts cannon" and going Accuspark electronic ignition! : )

Also being installed:
New leads
Rotor
Distributor cap
3 ohm Accuspark red ignition coil

Additionally as you can see in the photo, I drained and filled the diff with new oil (you can see the bottles in the picture).

I'll keep you guys posted!

Interesting fuel pump vid from Moss.
