Lilys got the one Minili posted, but grey, blue one looks well better!

[minili]

Mine has a black & silver one now too, the blue one is a bit spanglier but I wanted to have the right one

[miniboo]

nice looking car.

[Lund]

Looks good! Matches her!!

My boyfriends van is a '79 and its got this badge, but is that cause its a van? (sorry, dont want to confuse matters!)

Mine's a Mk4 '79 Mini City and has the leyland badge on the bonnet and (did have) 'Mini' badge on the boot.

[yorkshirechris]

Just 'Mini' or Mini 1000?

It might have Leyland bonnet badge because it's a city?

Think I'll just get some from roughly that 'era' to replace the pointless cooper ones that are on

[Nickh_16]

mine's a '75 and had a mini 1000 on the boot and tge blue and white BL badge on the front...if that helps?

Quick update...

Worked from around 12midday to 8pm today getting a sore back, squashed fingers, extended swearing vocabulary, numb nose and toes and oil and water everywhere. Least we had some Beadle jokes to make us chuckle...





Radiator out, crank thingy out, alternator shifted a bit. Timing Chain Cover off, Gasket replaced, crank pulley seal replaced, few bolts lost and extra ones found ( ), a Mars bar and a Twin thrown in, oh I bought a Halfords Professional set, the £150 ones, with a £50 set of ratchet spanners all for £60 too

More updates soon when I decide to give my back a good thrashing and my nose the 'ice' treatment again

Aww, she looks so cute all jacked up! Whos is the black min min?

[yorkshirechris]

That black beast is Dan's...

Cute is a good word to use lol, if I was to use the word I think of her right now it would be censored..

[Bungle]

if you got out of bed a bit earlier this morning you wouldn't of still been out there when it got dark

[yorkshirechris]

Yeah but if I'd have got there earlier Dan wouldn't have been around

Then again when I checked my oil this morning, realised it was WAAY above the maximum and didn't have a spanner to fit the sump plug that didn't help with time...

[yorkshirechris]

Forgot to mention today I fitted a couple of genuine Heritage chrome door window seals they look "the dogs" compared to the old ones

[tedmcedd]

looking good! i think i have to replace that seal you have just replaced! she is a beaut, looks really retro and in such nice condition!

i hope everyone saw the bean, who was parked next to the lovely evelyn!! hehee

[yorkshirechris]

If I were you I'd take at least a day out of your schedule and start early in the morning then!

Damage? What damage?

[Ethel]

Surely you can get a tarp stretched out off the top of that fence to get out of the wet?
