Woohoo got my new Cooper S disc setup through today from MiniSpares, aswell as new door rubbers (so I can get them aligned eventually) and a fuel tank sender.
Also got through a brand new old stock set of oval rear lights, the later style which mine should have. Lucky find!

Got happy with the grinder today and started removing the useless job of paintwork in the load bed. Taking it back to metal and doing it properly this time!

Also went to the Panel Shop and bought the paint. I decided to go for a darker blue, still flat blue though. It's not a lot darker, but will be noticeably darker. Am prepping it with my brother this weekend and next week in the evenings, then hopfully will be sprayed pretty soon! Can't wait!
Here's a pic of what I've been up to today...

We are back to metal in the whole bed now No nasty surprises, only a couple of very small patches I already new were there. Happy days

Ok, not bumped this up for a while, so Hi again!
Not a lot has happened with the Pickup. Awaiting bro to respray it (3 weeks past when he said he would... ) Got the new interior from Retro Retrims, which looks awesome, got my Cooper S brakes, got a new wiring loom and got some W&P arches.
I've found a surprise hole (like always...) by the front shocker mount. Only one so far, so I haven't done too bad there. Is quite a large hole, so time for new shocker mount I think, after welding up the hole.
Got a rear window too atlast! Tripped over it (not literally) by accident. Was a case of "You don't happen to have a Pickup rear window do you?" "As a matter of fact, yes I do." *Big smile on my face*
