I'm on call this weekend so can't leave the house - so the laptop will be down in the garage with the $1.50 silicone keyboard protector and I'm getting stuck into the Mini.
The plan:-

1..Thin skin of bog on the hammer dents on both doors
2..Pull the passenger side hub off and change the bearing over to roller
3..lap and reshim the swivle joints
4..pull out the lower arm and tie rod and fit new adjustable parts
5..tackle the removal of the passenger A panel
6..cut a new fuel sender gasket and fit fuel sender to tank
7..install tank
8..bling a lockable fuel cap to sell
9..fit relays to the headlights
10..unpick/measure old seat covers to make patterns for new

If I get half that done I'll be happy :mrgreen:
