Finished an all night engine swap on my brothers minis, it was -3c in the garage at 4am...
Why do we never do these things in the summer near the beach!

 

Because beer and BBQs

[JXC Mini GT]

Took it for it's free MOT at Halfords, and it passed, just 2 advisories Seat Belt webbing fraying and minor leak of exhaust gases from the centre section of the exhaust.

. This is hopefully the last MOT it will need as it will be 40 on the 1st Jan 2020.

Got the mini loaded onto the homemade roller jig, LOADS to get on with now. Check out @projectegburt on Instagram if you wish. :)

Nothing on the mini as such did get some doors on the workshop ready to start leaving my tools in there overnight

check with your insurance company, they might insist on an MOT, even when it's 40 years old, to prove it's roadworthy.

No galloping rot on the Mini now (or there won't be after Aprils visit), Halfords were very helpful they even adjusted the headlights free of charge

That is better than my last visit some years ago.

They broke the headlamp adjusters on my Cinquecento I had at the time and then denied all knowledge saying they must have been like it.

I know they weren't because I had been adjusting them against the garage door the night before.

 

Anyway, glad it all went well!

[Dandyer1995]

After much debate we rented a garage. No excuses not to get stuff done on the old fella now ?

[SuperDeLuxeNick]

Had a week off work so have enjoyed not having to rush jobs...

 

New longer wheel studs fitted to suit the reverse rims

painted up in the wheel arches and subframes

straightened my wonky exhaust

fixed the offside front brake

fitted all new chrome bumpers and grille

fitted spot lamps and wired in

fitted a voltmeter

[Chris.Williams]

Ordered a water/meth injection kit

[Wiggy]

Replaced my fuel sender. Turns out ~1.5 gallons is the on the red line for my MPi.



I wonder why it wasn't working. Can't figure it out.
