You could put my estate into the photo while you're at it. Ive got FZL at the end of mine
. 81 was obviosly a good mini year!

And the head!





And after some cleaning

Went back up and dropped the front subframe out and started stripping it ,both top arms are seized solid ! makes it interesting to get apart!also put another order into minispares

top arm was seized on me before too.... try the old nut against nut trick and see can ya get it to turn, worked in my case
good work, keep it up... am at about the same stage as you with my clubby estate, just pulled the engine out for cleaning of bay and subframe.... il be keeping an eye on here...
il race ya!!

steven

big a$$ hammer!!!!!

Tryed that ,the arms scrap il dig out a second hand one,put the seized one in the hydraulic press and no move on it !off to the bin it went!

if the press didnt do it...

Bert you put me to shame .I will have to get on with Pierre,s car or you will get your clubby
finished before I get his done . But this thing is fighting me all the way . Parts off one car dont seem to fit so good on another

I get load's done when i get time to do it!started doing a 06 bini clutch tonight and it's a nightmare so i wont get much done this weekend
