I've been building a classic Mini with a Honda 1.8 VTEC lump since Feb/Mar this year. It's got to the stage now where the big bits are done (fitting the subframe, engine, and driveshaft) and some of the more intricate jobs are left. My knowledge of electrics is fairly limited, and an injury I caused myself several months ago has rather restricted my ability for heavy work in one of my arms.

Does anybody know of a decent garage, or indeed if anybody is a dab hand when it comes to mechanical/electronic trickery, that's able to help me finish my Mini off? It's getting to the stage now where I'd rather pay someone to finish the car off for me instead of leaving it languishing on the driveway.

The jobs left are as follows:
Fit drive shaft clips
Fit B16 inlet manifold
Fit small sock type air filter
Fit radiator and buy slimline fan
Fit inline fuel pump and filter
Buy brackets and fit alternator
Bleed brakes and clutch
Fit gauges

If anybody can help, or knows someone/a garage that can, please let me know. I'll happily exchange lots of beer tokens in order to get the car complete.

TIA

Southways will probably do it, but they are in Hampshire. Might be worth asking?
