Not aparantly, you did

Got my 77 Clubman solid side van dropped off , big thank you to the Scott's , it has some rust and some bog, should be a good project , 1275 auto and flat black with white wall tyres, you get the idea, all I have to do now is make room for it in the shed by selling the 1951 Standard Vanguard phase 1, take the 1275 auto out of the 1970 Morris Nomad 1300 and sell it, fit floor to ceiling shelves to get everything off the floor, sell the rebuilt Hemi 245, sort through all the Clubman parts for keepers and sellers and everything should be all systems go

1975 Leyland Mini: 1060cc - resto/ ex-hsc project.

So far (now lunch time) have ground back the weld around the patch in the inner A panel until the outer sat flat - bit of a fiddle as the weld went into the pointy bit at the wheel arch and I had to use the dremel in the tight bit.

Gave the bog from yesterday a quick sand but needs more work.

Had a fiddle with the petrol tank - how did I get that strap bolt out? More importantly how do I get it back???

My greatest fear in life is that when I die my wife will sell my Mini and tools for the price I told her I paid for them!

I have a multi-piece and detached piston, a rounded over gudgeon pin and a nice scrape up number 4 bore.
Perfect
