went swimming in it!!


You filled it with water? Or you drove into a pool Keith Moon style?

I attached two wheel arches (which required way more work than expected) and covered an area the size of my torso in P40.


lol, just found where the leaks are coming from.
the bottom drivers side corner of the windscreen, the bottom of rear window, and two bottom coners of rear windows.
Might have to temparary fix with silicone (not the best idea, i know!)
Or i could buy a giant umbrella?

Finished tidying up the inner sill welds, added a new section to the inner wing/ A post flange, stripped of the manky E coat on the replacement outer sill, welded up some redundant holes on the sill and opened up the plug weld holes ready for nailing it on tomorrow oh and a nice coat of etch primer on it as well.

had a little "drive" around the lanes, till it stopped working, right next to a big puddle on the other side of a busy main road, after going over a big pothole hidden by a puddle, battery cable fell off, lol, reconnected it, lots of sparks, got soaked doing so!

when do you get mini back ipod?
