Just read the thread from start to finish - been said before but you should feel really proud of what you've achieved, absolutely cracking car and despite the cost (new parts, respray etc don't come cheap) worth every penny! Keep it up

i love every picture of this build, keep it up!

any idea if you are going to aim for a magazine feature? would be lovely to have it featured after all this effort

[penfold38]

I dont know about a magazine feature, i'm sure there are rebuilds on here worth a feature rather than mine.

As work commitments have taken over in the last 2 months i have managed at last today to actually get into the garage and fit the boot.
Rather pleased with the outcome.

[adam_93rio]

been a bit sinse i looked on here, youve really given me inspiration to get my other mini done

shes well worth a magazine feature, you should send minimag a few pictures and a link to the project
looking really good, keep up the hard work

Nice mate
Should be worth a magazine feature
Good luck with the future
Is it completely done yet?

[Whistles GT]

Looking good. Stick at it, mine took 3 years but worth it all when the people turn their heads as you pass !

Oh, by the way. I had the same prob with my beesting aerial (assuming thats what the previous post referred to). Nut on the inside worked loose so had to get to it. Instead of taking the screen out or roof lining out entirely I just peeled a little bit away from where it tucked into the sunroof. Just enough to slide your hand in so not to stretch the lining. Fit the aerial then glue the liner back into the sunroof trim.

Well atlast managed to get the engine.....but not got a clue what i need tod tobe honest...HELP.!!!

[1275 SPRITE]

Just read your whole project, looks great and the colour really suits it. If the engine turns over by hand then it could be worth while putting a new oil filter on and fresh oil and try starting it. You never know, there might be nothing wrong with it.

Keep up the good work.
