Got some advice on the nasty noises my gearbox has been emitting....2 months ago had engine out for sub frame / hydro issue.....now its coming out for a gearbox rebuild. Got the better of me so its off to see my friends at Mini King.

Gave the petrol tank an external touch up coat of paint ready to install

Electroplated some recovered male brakeline nuts a nice shinning bright zinc.

shifted my 1970 van shell to put the '74 van that's done a big end bearing up on blocks, stood between them and sighed.

Hmmm.... apparently GFs don't like this.... for some reason. :roll:

Degreasing in the kitchen sink is also somewhat frowned upon.
