looked at cleaning up some rusty freebie lampguards we've been given. think I might need to powdercoat them as the chrome is shot.

I produced a complete bespoke front grille for my clubman. Used 6mm abs black plastic shaped it using a router and a mill to machine the slots, finished it off with mesh behind the slats. Looks pretty shweet. I will get some pics up for anyone interested.

 

Edit - also got some thick checker plate  and made myself a sump guard.

Passed it's MOT and had a service while it was at it. Few advisories but thankfully nothing major!

snow foamed, rinsed, washed and then waxed little ol' mable, then treated her to some polybush upper engine steady bushes

i put poly bushes on mine last time they lasted about 200 miles so went back to the rubber ones trying the cone inserts this time
