Hey peeps,
dragged my old mini up from my old base last week, it was looking a bit sorry for itself, one of its eyes was missing, various garden life living in and around it.
after a few days in the workshop it is now alive! (although i have discovered that the used starter motor i bought 2 years ago is knackered), had a slight issue when the ignition coil exploded and sprayed everything with boiling hot oil, but other than that Mumbles is well on his way , i ditched those crappy sealed-beam headlights and picked up some bright shiny H4 units at a landrover sortout for £3 each, result!, the bonnet still lifts up as normal but you can also flip the whole front end forward for ease of maintanence
There's another very poorly looking mini sat in the car park over here, mostly stripped out, was going to see if i could get hold of the owner and maybe use it as a trailer/barbeque kind of thing
