This little excursion in to doing the minor up a bit started out as fitting a set of valve springs three weeks ago and I may have got ever so slightly carried away.
The head came off valve springs were replaced but the carb was a little sad looking so that got a strip and rebuild timing chain a bit noisy so duplex kit fitted engine a bit shabby looking so ill just paint that but the floor of the engine bay has a few scabby bits so painted that. At this point the front panel was off and I glanced at the inner wings those would look so much nicer body colour so stripped to bare metal zinc primed then top coated might as well sort the suspension while the wings are off new top and bottom swivels shockers off cleaned out refilled new track rod ends and the whole lot fitted with polyurethane bushes and a couple of nice new bump stops.
Currently.i have the front bumper and grille down to bare metal those will be painted at the weekend then its door shuts sill covers and on to the back inner arches and new rear suspension.
The joy of minor ownership is ive not spent £500 yet and I basically have new everything ![frame]
