So this is what I was doing over the weekend…Sorting out the garage!!!

Took out the front drive shafts and hub assemblies...




Now to tackle the adjustable ride height ... They are a Bitch to remove when the cones get rusty....




Now to get all the stuff cleaned and back in the garage...

12. Mobility problems...

With my garage getting more and more cluttered, I devised a cunning plan....

Why not build a trolley for the mini? It sounds simple enough and I do have the MIG welder.

Here is the end result of 2 days’ worth of hard work....








I will be posting some mounted pictures shortly...

11. The MIG has arived...

Taking into account all of my friend, Wian's opinions on the type of welder to get, I/We decided on a MIG welder.





It is a 195Amp -Gas/NoGas MIG welder with a 20% Duty cycle on full power. The Gas/NoGas option revers to the usage of flux-core wire. With this specific wire there is no need to hook up a CO2 gas bottle as the metal is melted by the flux.




The welder is marketed locally by Adendorff Machinery Mart, the same place where I got the Engine crane from. (See the services link)
