help please i need inspiration i have all the bits sat here waiting to put on the car so i can start it for the first time but i am lacking any get up and go to get the car finished, i am so close to getting it done and yet i just can't bring myself to do it
plus i have the ever looming dead line of my old man selling his house so i have to bring the car down to my own garage whee there are less tools n space.

Come on matey. You have built the epitome of 70s cool. I'd love to be able to have something similar to call my own. It goes fast, its purple, it has cool indicators, intensely sexy wheels, and its plain lovely.

Dont give up. You'll have a cracker in no time .

cheers! its took me about 5 years to find these! as i wanted the dunlop sp sport tyres on 10x6 wellers (but the wellers had to have the grove in them for checking the corner weights, so can be perfectly balanced like a race car!)

me and this car have a love hate relationship going on as i bought it 3 years ago as a project for me since then a lot has changedin my life a friend of mine has offerd to tow it down to my garage n help me finish it but im worried even if its down here i won't bother. yet i coundn't bring myself to sell it its a bit of a catch 22 i love it to much to sell it but hate what it represents.

come on man, its a great looking mini, and a damn shame not to have it in use! i know what u mean though, i had a mini that ment alot to me, but i never did anything to it for a long time, i then lost my storage so had to let it go as had no where else to keep it, makes me wish id got it done! dont let this happen to your mini, get it on the road, drive it, love it, use it! u wont regret it! only thing you'll regret is not finishing it!

a mini is for life, not just for taking up garage space lol

it just doesn't seam as important as it used to be as i only went to 2 shows last year as i have fallen out with most the local club members so have any one to go with as i built it to go to shows with my club mates n my ex.

it shouldnt matter who you fell out with, people come and go, but you built it for yourself to enjoy, i dont go to many shows either, think i went to 3 last this year, and thats it! minis are to be enjoyed, if it reminds you to much of unpleasant times, maybe its time to move on, sell it and get urself a fresh new mini, a new project, something that will get ur enthusiasm back, its a shame to know that this lovely lookin mini is doing nothing, just gathering dust. or....

PULL YOUR FINGER OUT AND GET IT DONE!!

lol it'll be worth it..trust me
