Fuel System
Tank Sealing- This is my experience with the POR-15 tank sealer used to
re-coat the inside of a rusty gas tank (and it will fill pin-holes in the tank,
as well).
Front/Rear Suspension
Fiesta Brake Conversion (by Tori Miller)- Need to

Seat Refurbishment- Got a set of ratty old seats? Follow along and turn those rotten seats you wouldn't put your ex on, into seats fit for your mother!
Body
Hinge
Rebuilding- Mk1 and Mk2 Minis use external door hinges. These hinges use
thin bushings, and those bushings easily wear out. Thankfully, replacing them
is a piece of cake! Follow along, and refurbish your hinges!
Tools & Accessories
Center Console/Arm Rest (by "Firemarshal" Bill Waite)- One of the "modern conveniences" missing from our beloved cars is a center console, where one can rest their elbow, store a box of Tic Tacs or fuses, and place a beverage. Bill has designed, built, and shared one for everyone to use, and has kindly consented to my reproducing it here.
Hydraulic Flywheel Puller (by Joe Clark)-
A task that has frustrated Mini owners around the world, and caused more
ear-burning language to be spouted than any other job on the Mini, is the
removal of the flywheel. However, with Joe's hydraulic flywheel puller,
the job couldn't be easier! Follow along and build your own puller, and
clean up your language in the process.
