Finally got something!
#26
Update from a wet Cape Town!

Roadworthy: Done!!!
Been driving the last 6 weeks, it's been great (once I found out my petrol gauge was rusted shut and ran out of petrol, then found out I need a new tank with the boot full of rust I poured out of it)
Also I lost a headlamp, so I swapped the working left to right and slowly but surely making plans for a whole electric conversion, the plan for next paycheck.
Right now Im waiting to order a new brake master and exhaust clamp as I would like to not choke to death, or have the pot corrode through and crash to death.
But I have made a shopping list of stuff I can/need to do before I'll be done:

5    hazard lights conversion
5    headlamp conversion
5    new brake master
5    new clutch master
5    new manifold-exhaust clamp
5    rust treatment
4    engine refurbish
4    Gearbox refurbish
4    new  rear suspension
4    new engine mounting rubbers
4    new fuel tank
4    new muffler box
4    seat belt conversion
3    carburetor refurbish
3    firewall soundproofing
3    new rubber seals (window+door)
3    new suspension rubbers
3    seat belts in the back
2    fire extinguisher mount
2    heater conversion
2    new carpet
2    new CV joints (?)
2    new tires (x2, return the borrowed ones)
2    new water pump (?)
2    upholstery refurbish
1    back-seat storage compartment
1    Driver door lock furnishing
1    flat boot conversion (platform over the spare wheel+battery)
1    Jack mounting in the boot/under back seat
1    matching door handles
1    new audio
1    New wheel bearings
1    new window clamps (inside doors)
1    radiator upgrade?


And here's what I've spent money on recently:
-Brakes (roughly 50% of my spending so far)
-wheel balancing + alignment
-pedal rubbers
-engine oil
-fan belt
-petrol filter (under the body under the tank at the back)

-Spark plugs
-Roadworthy
-number plates
-down pipe flex joint
-original steel bonnet (respray, baby blue on my yellow mini. Still have the bonnet at home, maybe it can be fixed.)

I've moved into a hostel, so no paying rent! That extra cash is going to paying my dad for the mini and buying parts as I need them. Whatever I haven't spend goes into savings for more rainy days.
