Did nothing with the 75 but picked the classic cooper S up from the bodyshop. Amazing how something so little can make you so happy! Mrs sworks dropped me off in the tomcat and we travelled home in convoy. For two old British cars that most people don’t like they seemed to get quite a bit of attention

My 'new' replacement front bumper arrived yesterday, to replace the one on the car that was demolished by an unfortunate wee deer. The new one is almost immaculate but I just need to find time to swap all the trim, foggies, headlight washers etc etc (and it was free postage!!!!)

I discovered a broken bottom mount today while tying the exhaust up!
No problem, a ten minute job.... ...until the captive nut on the subframe sheared off. You gotta love these cars ain’t you.

Nut and bolt will work, as long as two spanners can be used at the same time

Got my overhauled and repainted (in Teal green Metallic) 190 callipers disks and pads fitted along with new braided steel hoses looks the dogs danglies in my opinion.
