when i sold my cooper to a girl at work i took her mini 30 off her as a sort of PX. i was going to rebuild it but after I'd stripped it, it was full of so many bodged welding jobs i scrapped it. mini bitz had put it together for her :thumbsup: welded "over" the rust

then this girls sister bought an injection cooper from mini bitz, well lets just say... bodge, bodge, bodge.

never seen a top engine steady made of flattened steel tube before :P :P

try the mini hospital or if you can get there southam mini and metro at ..... wait for it .... southam.

As anorak says, I've worked on few cars that have been touched by minibitz and I'm less than impressed as well. C**p would be another word to describe it.
Mini hospital are ok, but I have to say, I'm not overly amazed at Bob's work, and even less at the way he cant keep to a deadline...

I would recomend the mini hospital aswell, bobs a really nice guy and his work is top notch! The website is http://www.theminihospital.com/ although its a lot easier to just ring him up, or pop in if you live in northampton!!

If they're the one's I'm thinking of, they're even worse! Bob (minihospital) is the one most people seem to like in Northants, just saying that from what I've seen, his work isnt worth the hype. And the fact he took months to do a simple respray on a friends car...
