Lol I've lost many a nut and washer in engine bays over the years it's all character building Hugh.........

alex-95, Graham, hoody99, Deathrow, Andrew, Jordie, Marco1972 thanks a lot - its still lost! I'm forgetting it (at present).

Not so much this week and the usual holdups

Finished the clutch master





And fitted with new seals



Was going to try and get it fitted along with the pedals, etc but it would seem having tried to get it all in that the dash rails cover will have to go in first! So took it all back out.

Cleaned up the servo















I also cut a bit of carpet to go behind the actual carpet to help with sound deadening. It seems you can't get the original rubber backed foamy stuff. Mine decomposed as I removed it.



Not a great week

Easing along, Hugh

Nice work Hugh, attention to detail again, what is happening in your living room.......

[minimikej]

Not a great week?! I can't wait to start cleaning and detailing all the bolt-ons :) Nearly there Hugh!

[hoody99]

As said above progress is progress it's all the little bits like this that will set it off once complete so keep cracking on buddy

Hugh,

you are doing some great refurb work at the mo and as others have said, it's all progress. Threw my rubber backing out too and it was in great nick, doh !! Just didn't know enough when I started to be honest but hey ho !

My first car was the Mini Sky; same start & finish as yours is! Probably quite different in between, though! Anyway, love this build!!! Almost there!

[hoody99]

Anymore progress Hugh ?

[racingenglishcars]

Bump?

[hughJ]

Hello nice people - I am sorry but with cold weather and lack of enthusiasm I have done very little to my wee Mini. Darren, Chris, minimuk, minimikej, hoody99, Graham and Andrew a big thanks.

I went on the forum for a wee look and find hoody99 and Don questioning?

I have done precious little.

Anne's birthday present was stainless bumpers (chosen by me!)





The back one was a pig to fit round the hinges. I had to force and scratched more paint. Might as well not have bothered.

The only other thing I've done is get the pedals in, the clutch all linked up, still to bleed, and started putting brake bits in place.





All in all very poor showing.

Sorry gents. Weak flesh and an unwilling spirit!

lazying along, Hugh

Chin up old boy, you have come this far with a cracking restoration on what is going to be a brilliant example.

[Carlos W]

That front panel looks a bit dusty Hugh!

Keep at it, you're almost there!

Imagine the fun you can have driving about over the summer!
