Mr B has now been picked up and gone to a new home. The green mini is no longer jealous of having to share a drive!

Removed the wiper motor and wheelboxes for a clean and re-grease, in a attempt to improve their performance on dry glass. Nice and clean now but still sticks after an inch :)

Gave my mats a clean, topped up the oil, got the thing running again after about 50 years, wiped up his little puddle (which was impressively little considering how long he was there for), put some tape x's on the headlamps (dont suit it at all but i was bored) and thats it ;) before the end of the hols ill be having some welding done and putting in my shimy new interior :)

Not really, hardly any room. At least you can buy all the bits separately 'n you don't have to dismantle half of the interior :)

Back on topic: I actually managed to do some welding and fibreglassing.
