(First posted on MLR forum in October 2012) got the polish and wax out on some other bits waxed so it will hopefully stay shiny after some filing to remove the worst of the tarnished finish waxed everything so everything will hopefully stay nice and shiny
(First posted on MLR forum in October 2012) The old girl was due her service. AYC clutch bath oil and engine oil from opie oils. Genuine mitsi filter and magnetic sump plug too. kept in my dads garage hence the label. don’t want to find it empty when i come to use it! While changing […]
There was a step up of about 100mm from the drive to the garage floor. That’s quite a lot for very low cars so any ramp would need to be quite a gentle gradient to be able to get anything low in and out without too much fuss. We’d been using some old bits of […]

(First posted on MLR forum in April 2012) cleaned and re-oiled the K&N filter and got a couple of pics of the engine bay as it is now though I’d like to tidy it up a bit sometime. I really don’t like all the shiny stuff at all. Something will need to be done.
