I'm not that into white cars, but it actually looks really nice on your clubby. Good choice

Snow tyres + mini + old man + spirited driving

I do like those seats - I think a set may look good in my Cox.

 

I think you need to ditch that late model gear knob though - spoils the look a lot

Yes, very spirited driving!!! It will be good to test the estate on AO32r’s in the snow/ice. Replicate that photo!

Two seats test fitted and two door mirrors on. Five minute jobs really, what can go wrong? A few bolts and screws.

Enjoying a few tarty bits when I noticed ....

Flat tyre ( just at bottom tho , so that’s lucky)

Wheel off and dismantle split, clean, reseal and then rebuild .. hopefully it’s sorted ...

[longtimenomini]

Well that’s just extracting the yellow liquid

Petrol cap seized ... luckily off the car / new cap needed
Ignition lock jammed with key in- full new set needed - mk3!! Good luck with that then!!
On top of that having to replace needle collar guide in carb - anyone got a spare for hs4?
Replacing top and bottom bushes in steering column
Lcb blowing again
Vacuum advance elbow joint snapping
Waiting several weeks for parts .... that are incorrect when they turn up

And on ..........and on


Column off for bushes ..... felt ? Really?

Ignition lock next , in the process of sourcing another... members on here helping out ( thank you )
