3 minute(s) of a 35 minute read

Well As Hoody mentioned, Tatties has been taking a back seat due to Hagis needing some attention, but thats all sorted now and I can concentrate on the clubman for a while, We started a new club up here in Inverness a while back and it has really taken off. IMOG. Check us out on Facebook!!

Anyway back to the clubman. The front subframe has been put to one side and I started on the front end.



Today after removing the old ball joints I decided to try a bit of Chemistry on these metro hubs,



They are quite rusty as you can see, the last ones I cleaned took me 2 days each and god knows how many wire wheels. so this time I went to Liddle and bought a huge amount of malt vinegar, at 23p a bottle what could go wrong? So in the hubs go for a week or so and we will see what happens!! I did copy this Idea from someone on here who had great results, so if it works then all the credit will go to them.



Although my roll cage has been here for a few weeks I didn't take any pictures, so here's one for the Hoodmiester!!



Full cage with door bars, harness bar and mighty mini's dash rail. not very exciting to look at when its all in bits!!

Got my welding mask back last night so you can expect a lot of progress over the next few months..

Progress, not much to look at, but this took me all evening to sort out, headlamp panel on Tatties, an absolute Beech of a job!!

A bit more progress..







The front of the wing is quite a good fit, but the back is awfull as it meets the scuttle panel. the A panel lines up ok with no gaps, so it must be the new scuttle corner I put on.. Oh well im sure it will be fine..
