(bloody goverment stoping my ema in april )

If you can afford to get this mini this far, you don't need ema. Get a job.

Nice looking car though.

Hi i have got the mini to this stage because i have very help full parents who help me out a lot. also i at the moment with sixth form and building the car i don't have time to also get a job. and at the moment no one around here is employing apart from mcdonalds. thanks for the comment about the car

If your parents have the good fortune to be able to help you with this build, then you don't need ema. I'm at 6th form, I have a mini (and have to work on it a lot), and work about 10-20 hours a week.

Mini's looking good though, what's the spec on the engine?

[josh.goddard]

hi mate project looking good can i just ask i have a head on its way to me what paint did you use to paint yours in

thanks josh
