Hi all! Busy again this week, got the passenger side in primer and i am part way through flatting it. A set of mk2 rear lights arrived and I have converted the wiring over to fit my loom and trial fitted the back end up and got excited!

My wheel arches ended up been covered in over spray after forgetting to move them a few weeks ago when priming and stone chipping. I rubbed them all down with ultra fine scotch brite and buffed up by hand with g3, then polished and waxed ready to fit.





Etch primer I'm using













The quality of the photographs is alot better with my new phone.

Also, its a closing date for an application on a job i applied for on monday so I'm preparing myself for an interview incase they all. Fingers crossed!

No job- No insurance- No mini driving!

Been busy again this week/weekend.

More flatting on the primer, turned the mini round which is always a task as i need to move a rover p6 and 2 other minis to do so. Doing this I could drive it to turn it round which felt great!!

Also the rear subframe has been removed and stripped and is being sent for blasting and powder coating this week.

PICTURES..



















You can see in that last picture its sat on a engine stand, I have bought 2 of these and a long pole which I'm converting into a proper spit for my minis, the engine stands are £71.98 each new in machine mart and i got 2 and the pole for £25!!





One radius arm is fully stripped down and inspected, shoes look pretty new and the drums and being cleaned and painted as they are good..







Cones are also really good condition..

Now for a yummy shiny piece..

Yesterday I went to Pickering traction engine rally. What a fantastic show! It was its 60th anniversary this year and was an amazing show. Loads of classic cars, tractor pulling including the v16 (sweet sixteen tractor) lots of smoke and engines! Loved it!!

Anyway.. The autojumble brought me some great bargains.





Properly made old flywheel assy puller. Going to strip and paint it and replace the main centre bolt with a longer one so it will reach. Grand total of £4



A loverly mug for £2.50





























Completly rust free doors amazing condition off a 93 mini with brand new condition lock mechanisms and window mechanisms. Orginal skins and frames. Never welded....

£60!!

Very Happy

Very nice work Dan.

Just a note on powder coating the subframe, I painted mine and had to scrape all the paint from the bolt holes as clearance was very tight, just something to consider. Also those cones you got with the hilos look in great nick, well done !!

Keep going.

Graham
