Well...  redface:

I'd finished for the day yesterday and was exhausticated...

So I was clearing away all the tools and stuff when I walked into the Mini front subframe (which was left on the garage floor) and broke my little toe...  sad24:

After rolling around in agony for half an hour, using many, many swear words I managed to overcome the pain and continue with my clearing up...

So, I hobbled about collecting my tools and stuff before doing exactly the same fucking thing again! cussing:

My little toe now looks like a black pudding...  sad24:

I've been on light duties for the past week because of mi toe but I've been werking on it each day...

Stripped the carb, master cylinders, fan, brake servo, assorted brackets, etc. and re-painted most of them...

Finally managed to remove the last two trunion pins from the rear subframe yesterday... then started to wire brush all the cack off only to discover that it is rusted through on one side... new subby required...  sad24:



I also whacked the knuckle joint off of the rear trumpets... They are supposed (as I understand it for the 1275 GT) to have two spacing washers between the knuckle and trumpet to adjust the ride height? One of them had three and the other didn't have any...

Anyways, one of the trumpets was also bent so I've decided to replace all four with adjustable versions - not Smootha Ride - just adjustable trumpets that use standard rubber cones and knuckles... I don't know if you can see them at number 67 here.

Then I'll need some shockers too - I was thinking of Gaz GTO-2021 on the fronts and Gaz GTO-2022 on the back... autoshocks.co.uk have them quite cheap...
