Changed the Master cylinder bracket as it was broke where the engine steady bolts on to and the engine was knocking and also welded the lower part of the engine steady bracket back on as that broke off too. No more engine knocking now

I also replaced the clutch slave cylinder as it was knackered and it was leaking due to it being covered in clutch fluid and I needed to bleed my clutch every 3 weeks.

Put some easter eggs in the boot, a stripped out mini makes a good hiding place
