Dug some more out under the house - started making the wooden block discribed in the manuels to allow jacking under the front of the Mini

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!

Fitted the new rubber cones, hi-los and top arms into the front subframe.
Lower arms and make a start on the hubs assembly tommorrow night.

Nothing... I don't have it anymore

Washed the three of them
Played with one set of hi-los
And put one of them on ebay

Tried to find the right spanner, turned out someone thought it would be a good idea to hide a whit-worth fitting in the front subframe

started on the rear of the S and found this rare genuine S spec suspension

Also thought i'd show off the NOS floor mat in the 850

Also pulled the exhaust off, jamb these emmissions up ya Julia!

Cars been sitting for some time

Gave it a much needed wash!

A puddle of water appeared on the front floor mat, not sure where it got in?! Next to the patch of brake fluid dripping down the clutch peddle


grey 64, where did you manage to pick up a NOS 850 mat? I saw you mentioned it in the 850 mat thread, but didn't get around to asking. Something very special and rare I am sure!

Shoved the poor thing back in the garage out of the weather to try and save what little paint is left on it

Looked at it, made stupid faces at wife, tried to communicate with her telepathically, bought it.

Turns out either I can read her mind or very luckily guessed that she approved

started out to be just a head gasket
ended up
head gasket
waterpump
bottom hose
thermostat
heated inlet manifold
extractors
clean radiator
and a bypass hose
then onto disk brake conversion
on matt4s car
just a quiet day in the garage
