Oh no, poor Bean and poor Ed

I really hope it all works out for the best and they pay for him to be fixed

[mighty mini jack]

Ahh man, not cool!

Didn't even see this before.

Hope you can get it all sorted

[tedmcedd]

well you can see here: Clicky that the bean has been written off...

thanks for all your support guys, he will be back! just don't know when... also... im now worried that the new law thing will effect me re-shelling him??

Richordsoniscool: i got the dash off ebay, if you look further back in the project page you will see when i got it.

One of my favourites!

Are you allowed to salvage parts from him? I've never written a car off myself so I don't know.

[tedmcedd]

yes i get to keep him. i could come out better off if they give me a good price for him... im waiting for them to ring me to say how much i am going to get, i have a list of all my parts and all my costs, im gonna get a good price if it kills me!

[liirge]

this is a sad day!

[tedmcedd]

i have settled at £1000 and i get to keep him, which im pleased with. they offered me £800 and i told them where to get off! lol

im going to buy an MGB GT as they are only £100 more to insure! the 1.8 will be nice on the motorway down to Uni, and the rear wheel drive will be different!

thanks for all your support!

He will be back trust me! so mods, don't delete this project thread yet!

Terribly sorry to hear about this, always admired this little mini, bags of character is a sheer understatement.
I'm gonna miss your day-to-day schinanigans and new mods, i'm sure it'll all work out

Good choice of alternative motor, The GT is a cracking car, my dad restored one when he was younger, unique sound but the rear wheel drive is very twitchy in the rain, so be wary!

My dad's was reg. GLG 333G, so if you find it, we'll be expecting pics!

Best of luck getting it all sorted

[Down&Out]

+ The gearboxes are apparently evil. But thats my dads opinion. Really nice place to sit though, driving position is lovely .

[tedmcedd]

im glad its been approved! lol

the one im looking at at the moment is RRA 444K!! well love it!!

if anyone knows of one for sale! around £1000 let me know!

Ed

[analogue_radio]

Considered an Imp?

[tedmcedd]

I have, my dad likes them but he said they always used to overheat on the motorways, no good for me going to uni, plus my girlfriend thinks they are ugly! lol

so i just bought myself this earlier today:







40,000 genuine miles, starts drives and stops, all working electrics, including working overdrive! it needs new valve stem oil seals and a couple of new brake pipes for the MOT, i'll put new pads in all round and change the oil and the filter. it has bubbles of rust along the bottom of the doors, and on the wings, but the chap threw in two doors and two new wings as i was a student!

all for a bargain price of £850!

he's even delivering it for me tomorrow afternoon!

very pleased!

Ed
