Okay, Providing the parts arrive and the weather behaves I have a lot of mini stuff planned for the weekend. Part one- replace leaky oil seals and do an oil change. Part two- new brakes all round , discs ,drums the lot. Part three-new exhaust manifold gasket. Part four- new engine mounts Part five- replace steering rack bushes and gaiters. Part six- maybe eat and sleep in between ;D And after all that it will be a close inspection of things like track rod ends etc. and making a list of any of those I need. Wendy.

Hiya Wendy How did your weekend go? Hope you managed to eat and sleep. Sounds like you had plenty to do and don't be afraid to add any pictures you may have taken. You may wish to start a Project thread so we can all see the progress as you move on

Mmmm, how did we get on? As I suspect is not unusual when we got under there found more to be done. As I write the postman has just delivered my parcel from Selective Mini Spares containing new shocks amongst other things. Also found the brake line was slightly twisted to decided to replace the whole thing. With parts in hand work shall continue today and hope by Sunday evening will be completed. I'll post a full list when done. Wendy

I plan to sandblast the roof gutter on the Greenie and add weld to the gutters to make up for lost metal. Also to complete the prep of the body ready for spraying.

Quick update on accomplished work. Changed oil flange seals. New tie rod bushes. New track rod ends. New front shocks. New discs. New pads. New drums and shoes. New engine tie bar and bushes. Lots of undersealing Myrtle was in a very co-operative mood at the weekend and I hope she feels the same this weekend when the rear shock will be changed and then onto brake bleeding and road testing. Wish me luck. Wendy

You had a very busy weekend by the sounds of it. I think I am going to be busy putting Molly back together after the bottom dash rail has been recovered. She looks abit of a sorry state at the moment
