Seen a DB5 at the local petrol station :D I waited for the owner to start it up XD Such a disappointment as it struggled to idle and he attempted to speed away. Only for it to splutter and clonk into gear down the road :/ Also had a nice patch of filler on the rear wing that had been rattle canned!

It's a quite a good job working in a garage where they also sell petrol, get to see all sorts of cars. There's one customer who has two vintage bugatti's... they are absolutely gorgous cars

New phone haven't figured out much on it, but i have navigated to The Mini Forum so not much more needed.


Grimshaw17
Got the new boot floor, Hinge Panel and valance all in place. to be welded. Finally getting there!

Rear subframe off, now to clean up the back end and weld the new panels on.

Need to start looking for a Rear subframe in the Cornwall area and order the new panels for the back. Apart from that its all coming together now.
