I brought mine home from the garage, where it had been sat for a long time awaiting my collection.  I just need to find a new engine now...

Made panel clamps, inspired by the Gentleman's Motor Racing Club on YT.

Don't cost a lot to make and aren't hard to do either, just need to remember to turn on the gas when welding them lol

[minifreek1]

Made more panel clamps to help me fit the floor to me Mini, just need some dry weather to use them now ....

[minifreek1]

Partially welded in the front drivers floor panel. Ran out of gas, got more gas - then ran out of wire..... The saga continues..

I’ve been garage-less for a couple of years and recently been working under a gazebo ... so decided to invest in a “Garage In A Box” garage tent ... Minis now better protected and roll on more serious jobs over the winter :)

I was in search of the solution to no drive (in any gear) and a clattering from "down there". (not my car so I don't know how it happened). So I dropped the subframe etc. out and took the flywheel off (Minispares puller - piece of cake.. thanks). The clutch is fine. Oh dear, something broken in the box or diff. Last time I stripped one of those was about 1977.

Took it to Ikea and got some (small) flat pack in. 

[minifreek1]

Well that's one side of the floor fitted.... Onto the other side now....

Did an oil change yesterday for winter at my workshop (the local Sainsbury's) before the SUVs arrive. Bit nippy it was!

Now I've got as far as the drop gears and the first motion shaft gear retaining nut has unwound itself against the flywheel housing bearing, chewing the aluminium somewhat. There's no sign of a lock washer for the nut - should there be? It's getting more messy by the day.
