bit of welding...bit of grinding....on the inlaws 850 (Redmond)

I love welding

im going to practice welding on lizzie!!! should be good learning for all my future projects

The other half and I moved 5 Minis from along our back fence to make way for the new shed.

We had to put some wheels on the Moke to move it. It looks very FAT with 10inch wide racing slicks on it. I should take a piccy.

Can't wait for the new shed.

I carpeted the boot of my car. I actually did something on it myself!

ohhhh id love a new shed to fit in more minis

I'll tell you what else I did today.......

Jacked up the daily hack, put a tray under the sump, drained the oil, then filled the motor with new iol.


So whats so about that??

I drained the auto trans by mistake......and put 4L of new oil in the motor, with the current 4L of oil......then went to drive off and had no gears in the auto trans..... and an overfilled motor!

what a tool!!

I was rushing ok......and it was 7 am.....and my son was sitting on me while i was under the car.....

Hmmm me did stuff all, didnt even clean the Beef Meister like I was going to

The shed is 12m x 7m. It will house our 2 GT Clubmans, 1 Clubby S, 2 Mokes (1 being just a shell), 1 Mini 1100 and our turbo Mk II S. As well as workshop facilities. Oh - I nearly forgot, sons mini bike and husbands trail bike.
We also have a huge garden shed chockers full of Mini parts and a ride-on lawn mower.

I will finally get my triple garages back.

hey anton did you know that over filling an engine with oil can destroy gaskets and having no ATF will cause premature wear to gear teeth

seriously, how did it drive?

Jules,
you know when buying childrens' shoes you always buy a couple of sizes too large.
i dearly hope you applied that concept to the shed

Duc, the motor was quiet as a mouse.....but it didn't drive. All rev, no action.....it only took 10 seconds for me to realise what was going on.....

anton one question did the smell of the oil not give it away lol
