Typical. Am definatley going to Korea now. So will miss the release date! :'(

Gutted! if I'm not too horrifically jet lagged i might try and find one at the airport but I don't like my chances!

Will just have to hope that there are a few copies left when I get back :D :D

Ade, I have not visited the forum for a while, properly that is. I would just like to congratulate you on one stunning result mate. The jokes have been made of the bogey colour, but quite frankly, I think you have the last laugh. I hope Rab (my mini) turns out half as good as yours.

Well done mate :D

We'll have to change your name to Hatchet-ADE!
Did you send the RSR Doors back in the end? because I might be interested in trying to rescue them.

Yes the doors did go back but we now think we have found someone else who can make them for a minus a lot cheaper(and they should fit). Now I have a minus in my garage I will be sending the doors to him to make copies. Will let you know for definate when I know.


No it's not out untill Friday.

I've neglected Rab for a while, but things are starting to move along now. I am sorting the 1380 engine out, then doing a flip front with a wee rub down and respray (same colour) and the interior sorted as well. I got seats from makro for £100 the pair as well. All I need to source for the engine is a lightened and balanced crank with the correct shells then we are cooking with gas. Spent a fortune on my new toy recently though (Impreza WRX with PPP)

Cheers

Thats quality, I will keep an eye out for the mag. Good thing with Mini Mag they feature more extreme minis than miniworld. Ive not seen/heard anything on the pick up so that will be a good read.
