Welcome to the forum.  You're not far from me then.  How's it looking for the Ipswich to Felixstowe run in May?

50/50 at the moment.  I've just been told my work contract is coming to an end in the summer - so any ideas of just buying everything required and going at it hammer and tong have been consigned to the bin.  There isn't a lot wrong mechanically; it now runs very sweetly.  It just doesn't stop.  Wheel cylinders, TREs, brake flexis etc and probably a little tickle as it's had a sill at some stage but the welding is probably not to current standards.

 

Thanks for the kind words!

Welcome aboard!

 

I got back into Minis 12 months ago and have found this forum to be a fantastic resource, there's just not enough hours in a day to read all the build threads! Definitely read as much as you can though, it makes decision making over jobs much easier.
