Well Done Neil, it was a given really after all your hard work! Paddy looked good on the bypass at 85!

Cheers mate although he has disgraced himself slightly by marking his territory on the drive and the garage floor. Nothing serious hopefully. :D

Cheers Jagman, looking forward to ripping around in him. :D

Had a good blast in Paddy today, went from my Gaff with my lad up to Beachy Head for a couple of pictures

Parked next to a new MINI to take the next piccy and the chap came over and had a good chin wag. Scott did offer him a chance to sit in him but he was at least 6'5" and about 20 odd stone so glad he said thanks but no thanks :ohno:  :ohno:

Then down to Burling Gap ( proper road built just for hooning around on) followed by East Dean for a quick brew at my mates house, followed by a run to Sidley to see my mum then into Bexhill and back to Stone Cross via Cooden, Normans Bay, and Pevensey bay. Cracking drive out.

 

He behaved himself well and with the new suspension sticks like the proverbial to a blanket. He will need a new clutch as it slips every now and then so that will be sorted before L2B.   

 

Happy happy days oh and caught a few other mini's out and about so plenty of waving and thumbs up by all. :D

Neil - brilliant. You deserve it. Its the way you stick to something and do it so well and so thoroughly. I just wish I had your skill and perseverance.

 

Enjoy your wee car. Have some super trips. It looks just smashing.

So much work.  Really impressed with the jack points.

The plates at the sill ends were for standing the shell when on the production line.

Not really jacking points.
