I stripped the front subframe today - looks good...Got my lecky drill out with a wire brush on it and took most of the muck off... then realised I was covered head to foot in black greasy shite... Only had a pair of shorts on as it was soooo hot like... Had to put plastic bags on me feet to make it to the shower...

Don't worry about greasy paw marks, as Mrs BM isn't there, and she never comes in here reading this stuff anymore anyway does she?Have you transferred engine bits into the kitchen yet btw?THAT has to be done.

The kitchen is once again full of Mini bits... Oh... and is there any lube between the brake pipes and the pistons or just screw them in tight like...?

Loads of greasy rusty bibs and bobs sitting on newspaper is an ESSENTIAL part of renovation...in ther kitchen, always. Not too sure about the kubing bit tbh. I'm not a mechanic.

Got back from walking the dog and this bloke turned up and asked "are you the guy restoring the Mini?"He has fifteen of the bastards! Had a long listen with him for two hours... he strongly recommends the dish washer for restoring dirty parts and such...

Oh yes, I've heard that one before tbh.Most excellent, and putting it to really good use that, only some of the wimmin' in here will probably have a moan at you. Failing that, you always have the washing machine I suppose?
