Replaced a broken wheel stud and the other 3 studs after struggling for a very long time 
Then replaced what appears to be a buckled alloy with an old steelie wheel :)

Found out that the squealing/scratching noise wasn't the speedo, instead it was the front wheel bearing which failed rather promptly and left me and my dad in a car park. Got a trailer and now back home on the drive :)

I Decided it would be a good Idea to rub back the rust patches/ bubbles and go over them with hammerite, however 2 of areas went through, leaving holes in the body. So I got some super steal filler stuff and filled them in before using the Hammerite.
That should hold off the Rust until respray time.

Not really working on a Mini but rather working to work on a Mini.
I built this 6 legged frame with adjustable feet to bolt a floor pan onto today.
