Noticed from your picture you are using the original jack. A word of warning - they are prone to sudden catastrophic failure. They seem to break or separate in the tube and cannot be repaired. I put mine in the boot working and on lifting it out it had broken! On investigation sudden failure is very...

I enjoyed the programme. Much better than all this reality crap and soaps on TV. Yeah they were not perfect and no doubt many would do something's differently but it's TV and it has to appeal to more than us grease monkeys. And they did show that they are human and can cock it up like us too. But al...

Just catching up on your restoration after a gap getting my own RMA mobile.
You are doing amazingly well!
Power to your elbow.
Kind regards

I do have photo's of it. It was registered YSF 471. It was unfortunately rolled and written of by my brother about 1970 when it had done about thousand miles.

I will take some pictures as soon as.
Unfortunately the shopper is still at mums house but I will get it.

My late mum bought a red Morris mini in 1961. It came with luggage to match the seats (red with grey cream patterned facings). They are patterned in the same grey cream style. On clearing out mum's I came across some of these. 2 long narrow cases for under the rear seat lip 1 vanity case 1 small sui...

Coming along well but always remember at the end of the day - your friends would rather have to jump start the car than you!
Remember to smell the roses.
Been there and remember the car will not get finished if you are.
