Drive the project out of the garage and up the drive
Now to go thru a list of small items to fix, starting with adjusting the clutch
But it is now alive and a car again :wink:

My mini finally arrived in Toowoomba after a 2 week trip from Canberra. Pulled the new loom out and tried to work out how to get it all back together. Any Toowoomba natives up for a jigsaw puzzle??

Hooorooo

More welding seat brackets in and found rust in the passenger footwell, so started cutting & shaping patches.

Also changed the oil in the Volvo V70 (Stupid oil filter cover that needs a special tool, or a big vice grip in my case), and ordered a head gasket set for the Volvo 740 off ebay: NZ$60 delivered, vs NZ$191 + GST for just the head gasket from the dealer.
