Got a few more bits done today. Figured I shouldn't waste time and just sort out as many parts as I can so it's all ready for the big fit up. Primer


Then paint!


Some keen eyes will notice I found my missing driveshaft!!! . Not pictured is also the gear linkage which will have a coat of silver.

You are going to have one clean mini once all this goes back together. :)

Well trouble is I was just going to do this car as a decent fast road/ track day car and use it in all weathers. But because I can't just leave stuff alone it's going to end up to clean and I won't want to get a spot of dirt on it

Nice I have one to get all cleaned up for the van. It's all covered in oil from poor old Ned.

Got the shell back out of the shed and into my new garage.

Got my new OMP bucket seats this week and weld in mounts to go into the shell so hopefully I can make a start this weekend!

[ryan22_lgm]

Welded up the last bit of rot tonight plus a load of useless holes in the bulkhead ! Smooooth ;)

Have had a good day today. Seat mounts are all welded in! Had to go town halfway though to get more welding wire. My mate was over helping me and done all the welding whilst I was working on the engine bay. Took a while to get the measurements all right and get the seats sitting in an acceptable position as we had to avoid the cage, the b pillar and the harness mount !


Didn't get any pictures of the engine bay that's s job for tomorrow!

[ryan22_lgm]

Cleaned up the weeds today and gave the mounts a coat of zinc primer.

Engine bay is getting there ! Hopefully get boot prepared for primer as well during the week so I can prime them at the same time.

Also tried one of the doors on and used some welding rods to make the gap better at the bottom! Needs a skim of filler now.
