Mini was grumpy this morning, didn't want to start.
I ended up having the use a clamp under the bonnet to hold the choke open while I started the car, then once it was going, take the clamp off and close the bonnet.

perhaps I should have brought the clamp with me in case it doesn't start when i finish work... oh well...

Made a boot liner

Cut trimmed and fitted

Fuel tank cover is next

Your boot is upside down

Yeah photo was taken at 4 pm in tassie I will take another at 4 am then she will be right

Makes the boot seem too tidy, better chuck a couple of spanners a few rags a bottle of oil and water in there for decoration.

Seriously though nice job

Have fun getting to the battery and tyre there a c--t of a thing to get out our dark blue one has the same thing made by last owner

I would have cut out the tyre opening and covered the cut piece and made a battery door on hinges if i made it

Where to start. .... put the oil pump back in, primary gear housing, rear seal clutch and wok back together. All in situ btw. Re assembled everything I had to move out of the way. ning nong of a job. Next time I will pull the engine iut.

Removed allvthe matt black bumpers snd re fitted the shiny chrone onrs.

Washed polished and detailed her for the cruise tomorrow.

Bought a 2kg spool of 1.0mm aluminium 5356 MIG wire. Now I can MIG weld some alloy if I need to (yes I know TIG is nicer but I've welded lots of alloy years ago with MIG)

Motor still fits in its hole. No welding of nuts to mounts (no gas in bottle) it went in without a fight
