Nothing could not be arsed

Over the past week the mini has been put in the garage up on axle stands and I have stripped the interior out, bumpers, grille and arches off, wheels off and taken the fuel tank out.

So far found a cracked floor pan, very holey rear valance/lower boot panel, holes in rear quarter. But the boot floor looks ok apart from a hole in the spare wheel well (should be easily repairable) and all the rear subframe bolts have loosened off without snapping!

I changed the front tie bar bushes, new reversing light switch and fitted a new rear window.

Mine got a little bit excited because it finally started again and made a mess

Today I've spent two hours underneath the mini trying to remove the rod linkage, unsuccessfully....

Two hours is nothing, it took us 4 hours to get the pin out ?

Did some rust repairs. Luckily all of it is under trim, bumpers, arches etc.

Vactan rust converter seems like good stuff.

[nicklouse]

amongst other things fitted some rear view mirrors

New boots on the front, a tank full of super unleaded and the roof open in the sunshine - I'm in love again

Not today, but Saturday. I had a very productive day working on the Mini in the equatorial heat we're having here in N Ireland.

 

Got the Traveller up on axle stands to start work on the brake upgrades. 

All 4 wheels (genuine Cooper S 3.5 steelies) rubbed down, tyres masked and repainted Old English White (fella I bought them off had them refurbished for his Mk2 Cooper S so were silver).

Sumpguard cleaned, degreased and repainted satin black for that extra stealthy look.

All the wood trim rubbed back silky smooth and then two coats of Danish Oil to bring them back up like new.

Got original twin air box rubbed back and repainted - even got NOS Coopers air filter decal applied for that factory look.

 

Maybe do a bit more this evening.

Gave it a 3 stage polish with my new da polisher.  5E115B87-57B9-47BA-A89A-602977A1F06E.jpeg   62.49K   1 downloads
