Got the donor car home but after much poking with pointy things have decided to scrap the flintstone floorpans car and cut her up for the now not donor car Many thanx to Markelldawe for giving me a lift to get her on the trailer

Did the pain in the ass job of gearbox selector seal!! Why don't we all have pits or ramps at home???

But squarely resealed so hopefully dry until the next leak appears...... Give it a week maybe!!

My greatest fear in life is that when I die my wife will sell my Mini and tools for the price I told her I paid for them!

I installed my chrome door bin kick plates that i`ve just had refurbished and put on my new speedwell gear knob ( its so cool ). Next up will be the dash liner and backing cards.

Gemini starter.

I sealed the rod change in the van and found the offending stone in the left hand brake caliper that has been annoying me for the last few days.
I'm still trying to find out why I've lost high beam though!

Finally started the rust removal, took ages but looks good(check out the post on the members pics)

Took apart my heater tap and cleaned it out. It now works perfectly. Not that we really need a heater on the Gold Coast.
Played around with the central locking I installed yesterday, that was a mistake. Should have left it alone as I will be driving the car this week without a passenger door trim (keeps fouling on the mechanism).
Wanted to go around to Lockie91 and have a look at the bits he has for sale but it got too late.

Made up a bulkhead blanket from insulated sound deading stuff I picked up from the "Reverse Garbage Truck" place.
The piece only cost $8.30


Foil on top surface and a layer of lead near the bottom nearly 1½" thick



Trial fit to line up air duct hole



The Finished piece - won't install it until everything else is done as I can tell from the trial fit it will be a job getting it in around the wiper motor and I don't wish to take it out again in a hurry



This piece turned out to be exactly the right width and I have another piece the is 6" wide that will fit below the box cross member above the sub frame - that piece was $3.20

started to clean up the shelves in the garage with all the mini bits on it.

Yep, done my sister's clubman with the gemmy starter, loves it! So am going to change the rest over i think. Cept the autos, can't get one to fit in there... oh well!

Took the dizzy off Mokesta to diagnose the not-running issue. Found it was fine inside so looked elsewhere. Coil to dizzy lead was stuffed, replaced that then she started but missfired so I replaced all leads and plugs. Back to her old self!!

Didn't turn a wheel though. Wifey is writing report cards so no testing Mokesta out while looking after the two kids.

Nice to know she goes though. Know what I mean
