New rear subframe and suspension plus a new exhaust. New radiator, fuel tank sender, bonnet release cable (etc) waiting to go on too :proud:

My bank account is lonely, all the money has gone :ohno:


No wonder, sounds like your mini is being given some love! :D

Fitted new clock - dash out again, fixed dials/lights which stop working every time I take the dash out.

Added 1.5ltr of oil. Not sure where all the rest of the oil went to . . . . :unsure:

Got the rear subframe on at long last! It was a long fight. Fitted one side of the suspension (including my nice shiny Hilos, which made it a breeze :proud: ). Fitted the stupidly fiddly front-rear brake pipe.
Back on the road soon. EXCITED! O_O

Parts finally arrived soo...

New thermostat
New thermostat housing gasket and bolts
Re-assembled hoses/pipes
Test Drive :)

Still running hot so will give her a good drive tomorrow and see how hot she gets.


Checked for any cold spots in the pipes? :-)



She seems ok now. But needs a good run out I think. Might change the rad in the winter when I do my flip front
