MINI ROAD TRIP !!
Well, it was a trip, and it was by road.
Got contacted by our import agent this week to say our bits had landed and been unpacked. Duties and shipping to be paid on collection.
So Martin and I set off early, also to meet up with Paul Y en-route before collecting our parts from Ron.
Perfect weather.
Spent about 90 minutes with Paul talking truck, especially his plans for Woody.
As always we spent quite a long time chatting cars, imports and the state of the nation before collecting our bits and setting off.
Managed to negotiate Ron out of a cool plate for my collection, from his wall.
On the way back one of the landmarks I always miss out on photographing was this pub.
One of the items we collected was our 67-72 rear bumpers.
NOW QUESTION TIME.... ???
I never realized that there were more holes in them than the two bumper bolt holes.
On top of that, I feel a bit pisssed off as there "extra" holes let down the chrome and the show...... It looks like the extra hole was laser cut, and the chrome around this hole is rubbish, or non existent.
Any advice on my perception here happily accepted.
This is the extra hole, and also there are two notches in the bottom edge on each side of the number plate recess.
Up close.
My total haul for today, included a load of window rubbers, and a set of door instep stainless strips as well as new door hinge pins.
Tabitha for some reason attached the carpet box with a vengeance.
After Martin left to go see to the dogs and Amanda, possibly in that order, I went to the garage to carry on figuring out the tow bar.
Managed to get to a point where I drilled more holes and cut some metal away.
Next up welding tomorrow.
