Booked a full engine tune for Tuesday today. After that MOT end of week then out to take some more artistic pictures, plus some interior ones for a certain SAL821X :-)

Also ordered a reproduction of the vans first tax disc... Will get pictures up when it's in the van.

I need to adjust the drivers door as it has dropped and now catching when you close it, how do i adjust the hinges? If someone can help I would be most grateful.

Does it need adjustment or have the bushes worn out? If it's the bushes you will need to replace them.

 

Cheers

Ben

If I'm honest I'm not sure. I take it I'm going to need to take the door off and strip down the hinges? Are new bushes easy to get hold of?

Looking good Simon. Can't wait for mine to get to this stage.

 

No real easy way to adjust the door, loosen the nuts off and see if you have any room to play with might need moving slightly and tightening back up..

 

Pins you can get from MS

Unless you make one or your idle like me you'll need one of these too.

Had the van tuned today. Looks like in the near future I will need to referb the carb as the needles are a little worn. But sounds lovely now through the single box 2inch playmini exhaust. Weekend is ear marked to look at the dropped drivers door.

Yes I will be there. I'm a member of Southern mini owners club and we are hosting the IMM so would be rude not to be there.
