Happy days MOT passed first time  Fingers crossed for good weather this Sunday >>>

Congrats! Any advisories?

Clean bill of health.. No Advisories

Congratulations on the pass  

Matt

Congrats, happy days, looking good  

I'm really happy with it. Excellent paint finish and the engine overhall means its running better than it has for a decade.

Even better!

Great to have it at a stage where I can use it every day the sun is out 
 

Looking good.

You can use these car everyday, mines is my daily drive and it lives outside and does a 50 miles a day come sun, rain, snow etc never let me down and always enjoyable drive for the last 20 years I've been using it.  They are meant to be driven so get out there and enjoy it!

50 miles a day excellent !

Visited a local car show today…    http://www.thehaynesvillage100.org.uk/

The Morgan parked next to me was only 15 years old   as we drove up to park with everyone else the steward actually asked if we were exhibiting !!   

 

The MK1 looks great Jez  

A few years since I last posted any updates…  This year seemed a good time to tidy up the suspension and running gear.  

I wonder how many people have unrestored 26 years old+ running gear?  Perhaps I could have waited another 10 years

So it all came off to be shot blasted rear beam.. front ARB etc etc.. like the last mini resto..got carried away this time as well  !!

Then painted, new bushes and suspension…






Then in the end waxyoiled the lot.





Pleased it's done and feels like a new car to drive

Anyone have any advice on an exhaust option for the clipper?  I'd want something quite and long lasting. Cheers Jez

A rare day where the clipper met snow.

The Clipper came out today, after being in storage for 8 months.  Small tlc list.

Rear external scraper sills
New FM aerial
Rocker stud
Oil change and service
New rear Golf badge
Blue hood bag
Perished engine hose pipes

Looks good from here

Nice to see it out and about again.

After another winter in dry storage a few more things ticked off the To Do list this Spring.



    Gear Linkage replaced
    Rocker cover repainted
    Exhaust gasket replaced - no more floor board squeak and thanks to this thread
    New Hydraulic tappets

Tappet change has not quietened them down so going to look at swapping out the oil pump and doing another oil change before diving into more engine work.
