The 'Box of Destiny' is full of orignal parts that will either be binned or refurbed, either way, their destiny is in my hands

I am going to order some Brake pads and braided hoses for my Boxes of Truth next I think. maybe some other stuff when I go see my 'man'

Please buy carbs for it though. No particular reason why I just think

'what do you drive'
'oh me? Just a mini running carbs'

sounds cool

More progress

put the driver door on, and clipped the new pannels on for fitment:

taking shape, but took them back off cos they were getting in the way lol

got working on the passenger door. cut out all the rusty crap, grinded it:


welded some steel on and ground it again


bit of filler


sanded down and got rid of that awful "city" sticker


Got bored, so messed around with the welder, Vibrio


Don't mess


took out the drive shafts, absolute bitch as it was all rusty, and didnt have the right tools, so commence brute force


the engine is now sitting loose ready to be lifted out


not a bad afternoons work.

that is all for now. comments welcome
