Started the de chroming, only done with a rattle can to make sure I liked it. Will get it powder coated soon

Is that the Beacon Road....?

 

My nephew lives just round the corner from there who also has a Mini, his is white with a chequered roof and rusty headlight rings.... you might have seen it maybe...?

 

Hi, Yes it is Beacon Rd.

 

Can't say I have seen that one, there is a white one down by the pond, and another red/black one by the Stanley Pub, think there maybe a lime green one there as well

He used to live on Stanley Rd at the bottom, think his Mini is still parked on his parents drive... he's not good at looking after it to be honest and it's wasting away, which is a shame for it really....

Sorted the indicators on the Mk1, started to change the rear lenses/gaskets too. Just need to deal with a little surface rust under the old gaskets and its ready for the summer! 

 

Took the Moke out on its 1st big drive! Few gear change related issues and it decided to spill a chunk of coolant as we got home! Still not bad considering it hasn't run in a long time.

fixed my slow starting issue by cleaning up all the earth points, and property tightening the battery terminals. 

 

Also found a perfect sized boot tidy in the shed, for carrying all the various fluids that I might need.
