Well, it has 3 wheels on it now anyway. more tomorrow hopefully. wasnt really in the mood today.





Managed to lose lots of nuts while taking the car apart, so theres a few missing (the one holding the front shock on, the one holding the lower arm thing in, and on the rear 19mm one that holds the rear arm in from the inside) - very annoying. I think I need to get a bag of assorted imperial nuts from somewhere, as it seems like I have lost one nut from every part of the car.. ha ha.

Hopefully I'll update tomorrow with it sitting on 4 wheels and maybe even rolled back into the garage and out of the nasty rust-inducing weather, as long as it doesnt rain!

I've got some wellers to go on, but they're only 5"

The car is coming along okay but must give you a virtual slap for refering to 19mm nuts on a Mini. No real Mini has anything but imperial thank you !
