I should hope so too - shes like a brand new one!
If she failed I'd be terrified, mines due in a month.
What would Macgyver do..?

For the last two weeks I've only been inside to eat and a few hours sleep. And work has revolved around fetching and carrying!
Still got the parcel shelf and glove boxes to finish and the weather strip to tidy up. And the seat belts to fit, the boot floor, the indicators to sort, the stereo to fit and and and

All Minors had indicators (of some sort) !! But I agree about the belts.

Hi Roger, what year is Sophie ? Thingy (63 2 door) has the same small glass side lights on her face but she doesnt have trafficators in her B posts, are you going to fit the big orange plastic indicators to Sophie?

She is a 61, Actually she should have the even smaller sidelights, but I fitted these ones to keep in character. The side lights are in the headlamps and I'm going to use the side lights as indicators - I have fitted orange bulbs. I'm still thinking about the back indicators but I'm keeping the old style rear side and brake lights.
