looking nice whats left on the list?

My Dads making the rear seat covers so waiting on them, then not much else really. Just give everything the once over and do a pre MOT then the real thing.

good luck with the MOT, check all yr brakes and look for any leaks, but you did know that already

[Andrew O]

Certainly will, thanks.
It's a bit strange now talking about MOT after all this time, it's been sorn for 9 years and I've had it for nearly 2

2 years on total refurb is very good, some take years, when passed the real nursing starts, you'll be at it every day.Just be proud of what you have, and a big pad on the back 4 yr dad.

Looking back I could have done it quicker but I'm happy with the result so far. I can't wait :)

Just wanted to say impressed I am with your rebuild, I read all 56 pages last night couldn't put it down! You've inspired me a lot, can't wait to get my hands on my own now and can't wait to see your pics when it's fully complete, keep up the good work.

[Andrew O]

Thanks a lot, I really do appreciate comments like that.
Yeah, get your own and get a project thread going !

Right, long overdue update. I have been working on the Mini, just havnt got round to posting things.

 

So, finally got the car all sealed up with some wax -

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dad made the rear seat covers so got them in and the seat belts -

 

 

Hand brake covers on -

 

 

 

After the Gtechniq and wax treatment the car now beads like crazy when it rains -

 

 

 

 

That's it for now, the car is almost finished. Just need to sort out the front seat belts as they seem to have stopped working after sitting in a bag for 2 years. MOT is close
