- Speedometer - currently not working, have a second one but not much luck so far;
- Windscreen wipers - currently not working, now have a working set in the shed to try;
- Doors - rusty and in a state of disrepair, newer rust free doors require stripping, preparing, painting and fitting;
- Numerous small body repairs - usual stuff for a 42 year old car.

May 2017 Update
So it's been a while since I've posted. Notice a theme?
Anyway, here goes:
Anyway, here goes:
- I've quit my job as a Control Systems Engineer in the mining industry and have started a new job as a Control Systems Engineer in the grain handling industry. The change has been good and I feel reinvigorated. I'm enjoying engineering more as I no longer have people reporting to me. I'm also going away with work a lot less (and when I do go away it's generally a day trip).
- I'm catching the bus to and from work so the 1975 Mini Clubman is no longer a daily drive. I'm getting some of the more involved work done on it now (disc brakes and suspension). I'm planning on it being a fairly original car with some upgrades for safety (disc brakes and suspension) and for the look (period roof rack, possibly a rear window shade). Recently fitted new plugs and leads as it lost a cylinder...
