Fitted some inertia rear seat belts, what a difference from the static ones. The grandkids will be made up when we go to the Lakes next month

Replaced the radiator - whoever designed that bottom hose needs spanking!

Ten times worse when the previous owner rounds off the jubilee clip!

 

I bet - I got lucky there!

My fathers Comer Caravanette with my 1275GT taken in 1975 at Port Knockie North East Scotland.

Hope nobody minds me posting this in this section, not doing anything on my 

mini at the moment

That's brilliant - looks like a Maidstone, it was the official 'factory' conversion and one of the nicest interiors you could get.  Very nice van and great looking GT

Oddly, before it was called the Maidstone, it was called the Commer Commer.

Congratulations, it looks real good, it's a great feeling when you get it back on the road.

Well today I refitted the Hi-Lo's and adjustable camber brackets..... again....

 

Found out that its gonna need a rear subframe before the next MoT.... well I was thinking of taking it off the road for a couple of weeks/months anyway, to replace a few panels etc... will be changing the colour scheme too....

Yip  Next job is to re-torque the head, put some ant-freeze in, line up the head lamps and book an MOT

[Rapidmini59]

Took the beast for it first mot in 20 years.
Failed on a couple of advisories.
Front braided brake hoses needed repositioning.
Sorted this and it passed with flying colours.
Paid for a years road tax.
On the way home filled up with fuel and and now Fuel cap has just started leaking as i need a new one.
The exhaust mounting block at the front of the rear subframe has unboded itself so i now have a knock when i go over bumps.
But over all a very good day.
At last i can drive her.
Just need to soften up rear end as its very hard with coil overs.
YIPEEEE im mobile in a mini i have restored.

[panky]

Excellent  Hopefully that will be me next week.
