Just got back from a week in the Ribble Valley had a fantastic time, although being in my wifes fiesta the roads up that way where amazing going across the Dales, will cetainly be going back there in the mini next year. on the way home thought i would pop into Mini Sport as i won't be up that way for a long time again, seemed smaller than i imagined but the bits i wanted thay had in stock and the guys there where very helpful, and where more than happy to show me some other bits i will be purchasing at a later date. Car is at its final phase and all going well should be picking it up end of August first week September.

Thought id add a couple of pics of what i brought from Mini Sport and a couple of pics of some places where we went Pendle hill and Ingleton

Ok last visit today before i pick it up on 3rd Sept. just a few little touch's to finish it off then its done, Ted & Nic at the East Anglian Mini Centre have been 1st class all the way through the rebuild, i can't rate them highly enough ( Not cheap ) but is a full resto on a mini these days ever cheap?

Here are the last few pictures i will get to post before i pick it up and fit in the last few interior bits. Finally had the Arches fitted Group 2 Wide ones from ABS Motorsport, i think the fit and look are spot on ( But it will be lowered more once i get ti back ). Purchasing some Cleaning products next week so the next pictures you get to see it will be proper buffed up. lol ( Pictures arre from my phone so the quality not quite as good as i would like )

Not that im counting but 17 days till i pick up the Mini, its been 6 months so can't bloomin wait!!!

[drewsargent1980]

Fianlly thought id bite the bullet today and get all my invoices and paper work sorted for the Mini, so sat down today and went through all my paper work for the Money pit. Total spent is coming in just under £6500 ( inluding £900 for buying the car ),its amazing on how it all builds up, little bit here little bit there!! lol if my wife knew id spent £2000 more on my car than we did on our wedding, i reckon i'd be in trouble, thankfullly she has no idea, 3 cheers for separate bank accounts lol.
