That when you are fitting something, it always takes a bit of jiggery pokery to get it fit right.

Erm...ok...I'm just going to nod and agree lol.

Not much of an update really. Just been speaking to James and he said there is a lock up going in his village for £100 a month, he says you can fit 2 minis in there, but one would have to be rolled out to work on both of them, it has a solid concrete floor, single roller shutter door and a single double bolted door, its also 7 miles away from me, so might not be able to work on it everyday. Debating what to do.

Take it it's got power?

Is there not a garage at home you can clear out?

Went out yesterday, and didn't really do much, just got all the loose rubbish off from the other wheel arch:





It all looked solid , but I couldn't resist a poke around, and uncovered a little hole:



Its just along the edge of the wheel arch . But its an easy fix .

So treated the rusted areas, then gave everything the first coat of stone chip :

You can never resist a good poke around Dan!

[1987_ParkLane]

Well today, could have done more, but my hands are aching like mad from work , been taping all day , you would understand what that is if you make turbogenerators . Anyway, gave the arch the first coat of thick stone chip:



Then I decided to get sorting some of the wires out, as I want to get as many of them behind the bulkhead, so it makes the engine look tidier, and so they are away from elements that can cause problems :



Then as I was poking about, came across another small hole:



Easily fixable though .

Haha yer I know, its like a moth to a flame, you can't resist it .

[1987_ParkLane]

Did a little work today after work, only a little bit though , put some fibre glass over the hole in the rear wheel arch:



Then while the arch was off treated a little bit of the rust around the lip:



Just ordered an alarm kit and central locking kit off eBay, so can get that fitted next week, I get paid tomorrow too , so can buy some more things . Might not get anything done tomorrow, as I'm going to look at that lock-up, still not decided what I'm going to do .

Thanks, its was just a cheap alarm and central locking kit off eBay, it was about £40, not sure if its any good, or what, but will give it a go, and see how it goes. I'm not sure how hard they are to fit, but with my mini all stripped out, it should be easier with wiring, etc. I can get you the link of the item if you want?
