How very naughty of me!

Sorry to everyone who has been keeping an eye on the blog for updates - life has been decidedly busy recently and we've not had that much time for poor old Mutley.

However a few weeks a go the boot floor edge had been repaired, and we just need to flip him on his side to finish off and then Schultz the bugger underneath!

We also have everything apart from Primer now too! Yay! I will get the picture to show you all how lovely it looks.

Mutley got a Christmas present (early!) of some carbon fibre door escutcheons - which will be a really good finishing touch!

Hopefully more updates before Christmas! Fingers crossed!

Soul Destroying? Possibly. (Part 2)

More progress on the sanding, done part of the boot lid too - motivation on my part was lacking.
The wholes in the drivers side window have now been done and sorted - not really much more welding to go now - just finishing bits mainly.


I'd like to add that black snot is a must when sanding a car.


Woo.

Soul Destroying? Possibly.

Maybe that possibly should be a certain yes, to start with it wasn't too bad - I managed to get the drivers side rear quarter done and the passenger door. Found a few little bits on the window that needed replacing (as seen in the pictures).

The window on the other side needed some fresh metal putting in, and that has been done as well.

Fairly good progress I suppose!

Finally moved

and nearly settled in!

Managed to pick up the crane on the right for a really good price (from an old garage!)

Mutley is on the move!

Today we are on the move! The day has finally arrived and we are moving - well Mutley is. He is off to his new dry home where we will start to prep him ready for his lovely coat of orange paint!

Finally a huge relief for us to find somewhere reasonably priced and dry (with electric and water) to work on him - and any other mini's that may crop up in the future!

In parts news - we have a set of coilovers - yipee! In the next few weeks I'll order the rear brake parts so I can build the beam up.

Not really much else to say - I feel like an excited child to know that it's getting close now!

Suetonius - a new friend

Mutley's newest friend - a Series IIa 1966 Landrover! (Yes I understand he has Series III looks!)

Finally - a practical car - he's our daily driver, but will also tow Mutley to track days!

Talk about little and large!

Ray of Light

Looks like there is a possibility that we will be in a workshop within the next month! Which is permitted to have a spray 'booth' setup! Mutley should seen the road sooner than we originally thought - it's taken a weight off our shoulders!

Here are my new door cards as well! Flock with Vinyl Insert.
