Yes, ofcourse

Urm... well maybe.

Possibly.

No.

Oops.

bad times. At least you found out sooner rather than later. Pickups looking good, although im not sure the leather bonnet straps would look good, but then i think that about all minis

Good luck with the rest of the build, should see you at the shows this summer if we both pass our driving tests first time round

They are the sort of things i say i will do but never get round to! We'll see, long way off yet! Whens your birthday? Dan

[Clubby 73]

Fair enough, but thats just my personal opinion im sure most would disagree with me
27th of January, not long to go now im soo excited lol. Yourself?

[mini-man-dan]

May 14th Ages yet! Atleast the car will be done by then!

[Clubby 73]

thats quite a while, yeah i got a couple of things to do before i can drive mine anyway, heated rear window doesn't work and like 2 other minor things i can't remember right now but should hopefully be done

[mini-man-dan]

Nice! Lil bit easier than the project I took on then ! As I'm sure many people on here will say, a Mini is never ever finished, there's always something needing doing. Even if it's completely rebuilt!

yeah just a little bit, but whats a mini without its little (well sometimes) problems eh? even if they do cost an arm and a leg to sort out

[mini-man-dan]

Exactly! Part of the fun! You don't understand until you've owned one! (or 5... )

[Clubby 73]

so true, i'm just really annoyed atm snow has been here for what feels like a month (its only really like 5 days) so cant do anything because i dont have a garage and i am pennyless so cant afford to buy anything either. Just bought the new miniworld and realised L2B is two days after your birthday

[mini-man-dan]

Yeah, but your not allowed to drive on motorways until you've past your test... Could be a long old journey A & B roads!

[Clubby 73]

Isn't that what parents are for? Probably the only time im going to allow my dad to drive it so might as well be a good reason for him to do so

[mini-man-dan]

Good point, but that means I'd have to let them drive. The motorway bits anyways...

[Clubby 73]

Yeah exactly, could become annoying for anyone following what with having to keep stopping etc. lol

[leaky]

Thats what I got my dad to do for most of the year. He drove my mini to Beaulie, IMM and Castle Combe. No I'v passed my test I drive my self. He now misses driving my mini and although it won't admit it to anyone he want to get his own mini now.

More progress over xmas period
Is now rolling, haven't got the brake calipers on because I'm waiting to spray them when I get a spare hour or so.
Looks highly terrible with 13" steelies on the front!







Engine has gone off to Slark Race Engineering to be sorted, was sold a duff one during the summer! Thanks 'Beats'! Not. >
Ah well, life goes on! Still got some parts useable off it, so a friend is doing me a favour and rebuilding the engine when it comes back from SRE in a week or 2.
