Is there any possible way that I can put the car in neutral from the gearbox as i want to see if the motor turns over by hand? Currently the car is stuck in gear...
Gear change lever & mechanism.... gone

Just a "cool" picture of the mini peeking out the garage parked next to the daily driver.

Mechanical fuel pump... gone but it's been blocked off so this isn't a crisis at all.

So when I first went through it I thought that the VDO gauges were quite a surprise considering that they don't come cheap.
But this was even more of a shocker to me.

A complete headliner just dirty. I'm too scared to even touch it in case I damage it.
Speedo with only 8000km on, maybe it had a rebuild recently? Who knows. According to the license department the last license was paid for in 2011.. If the engine has been standing since then a rebuild wouldn't mean too much then.

Rat droppings, at some point they made their nest behind the dashboard. Luckily they left the wiring alone.
Pulled the fuel tank out so it can get sprayed and coated on the inside after a wash. Also need to change the tail light lense on the left side as it has been cracked.
