Im afraid even that wouldnt do it... the amount of stick-out-ness is more than the extra bit of metal on that of a big wheeler body.... 2" rubber flares may be my only hope...

Yesterday. Put ramflo filter on the weber, new battery bracket, removed wrong rear bumper and LHS rear door seal on the traveller. What is the best adhesive to use to glue new seals on?
Today tried to change the wheels around so the tyres rotate in the right direction but could not find a jack to fit properly.

Pulled my gear lever off to see if I can determine what's happening in the guts of it to make it so sloppy (as related elsewhere too).

Picked up a set of new old stock mud flaps today. Now to fit them. Also got some speaker covers . Going to remove the alpine logo and fit some bmc badges to make them the super rare bmc speakers lol. Also going to get some porcelain green paint mixed up to paint the covers to make them blend in. Won a mini Cooper accessory phamplet and book. On eBay. I have had a very mini day :D

I don't think I'll be doing bugger all on the Mini today as it's belting down here in the Gong and the steps going down to my garage look like Niagra falls!

not a good day for a drive I suppose either :/
