Caesar the 1275 E - Diary of minor changes

[Vinay-RS]

Haven't updated this thread in quite a while, but there really hasn't been much progress on the Mini either.

Had a bit of a stuff up in early December, reversed into a tree stump and dinged the rear bumper, so for the end of year car show, the Mini was bumperless and not looking great :\

The Mini was soon after parked up as I went home for the holidays.


I had picked up a secondhand rear bumper that was straight and usable. Cleaned it up and then gave it a good polish and it turned out alright I think.



The Mini is currently parked up as the top and bottom engine steadies are completely stuffed. The bolt has rusted to the sleeve of the top one and I can't get that loose to replace it, while the nut is seized onto the lower steady and the bush is also completely worn. I have the bushes to replace these parts but don't currently have the skill to get the bolts off. I think a hacksaw is needed or perhaps an angle grinder.
