alright mate, don't worry the guys you met at L2b are coming up to kick me into gear this weekend to try n finish the wiring and brakes. so just a bit of body work to do after that then he is finished. just got down that he didn't make it and i had to go in ellies GT again although being in the first 51 was amazing.

you cant complain about being in the best GT of all time! I spent too much time on that car for you to give up! haha! When im back from leicester i will lend you a hand but im hoping you will have done it by then. Beaulieu is a super show too so we will make it! Also i love that bonnet so because yur not having it, i am! and that downdraft , well i dont want them to go to waste do i!

(mmmm elf project!)

That engine bay looks so neat and tidy, I'm jealous.

Shame you took the special alloys off, I really like them. Don't suppose you'd consider selling me the special wheel nuts would you?

one of the reasons the specials weren't fitted as we couldnt get our hands on the wheel nuts. they we being held on with my alloy nuts, and they dont fit at all!

right after a few months of not touching this car i back on it last night there isn't much left to do but i have had a lot of crap in my life since L2B and just lost heart with the project. so i am hoping to finish it soon but not sure how long i'll keep it once its done.

[1293sleeper]

the only reason i am thinking about selling the car is that i am thinking of leaving the mini scene all together due to problems with a lot of people at my local club and i now feel like i can't go there any more as i will have to see people i have a real problem with.

Car looks really nice! I'd love to go for the retro Mk1 look, but I have enough work in 10 months to do without converting the lights this that and the other
Can I ask, how come your car has side repeaters if it's a 1970? Mine's a '72 and has none.
And if you don't get on with your local club, set one up yourself! A couple of us have recently set one up and it's going great, we have about 15 cars in it so far, all go out on runs and to events together, and have a monthly meet where we can catch up on the most recent problem my brother's car has incurred! His nickname in the club is BrakeDown, because his original Mini did nothing but that It was just jinxed, hence why he is now using that one for spares!

its got side repeaters as the last owner fitted new wings n bought the wrong ones
the hole thing with my club is complicated and i don't even want to see these people at shows, i have had loads of different classics before and been a member of many different clubs and have found my local mini scene to be very bitchy and back stabing. don't get me wrong there are a few really good people there but some people have just ruined it for me. but i have thought about moving away altogether to your neck of the woods.

Hmm... bad times!
What do you mean moving away? As in moving house or making a new club?

[Retro_10s]

[1293sleeper]
