My new carpet came today so spent a few hours ripping out the old stuff and fitting it. Looks much nicer although it took a lot of cutting to get it all to fit.

MOT in a month so going to start prepping for that.

For the longest time I've wanted to put 'Land Rover' lettering on my mini as a sort of ironic joke.




I genuinely like it.

The 'specialist edition' you've ever seen.

today (as with most of the rest of the week) i looked longingly out the back window as I watched stupid rain run down my car-covered mini.

also one boring delivery in the post - a carb breather hose .... which I was concerned about as the one end that supposed to be larger than the other aint as large as Id expected and Im wondering if it will be too tight on the car hmmmmm ?

Muk had a leak on the petrol tank, I was wondering why bad fuel economy, I found the cause, it was the tank filler neck. The cap collar has a dent on the edge so not locking/sealing tight enough even with the rubber washer, bought a tank on fleabay for £0.99 +6.99 P/P cleaned all the hammorite crab of it to bare metal to see if any faults where hidden, then Por Metal prep followed by a good coat of Por15 all over, sender unit new, I fitted the refurbed tank today and filled him up, went for a drive, to my expectations, no more leaking, hopefully it will show on the fuel consumption.

Changed the steering wheel from the original 14" to a Mountney 12".

It's like driving with a saucer as a steering wheel.
