I've done a fair bit of wiring in the past, I got an iron, holder and flux from Amazon. It wasn't very expensive but has served me well!

I have looked at a few minis recently, and some have good(ish) bodies with work needed on engines, and some have bad bodies but great engines? Which would you pick?

Mine was rotten and a non-runner and everything was screwed on it.

yeah it is difficult to work on the mini if it is your daily driver.

went for a rather damp blast around in the mini today! - now to spend even longer drying, cleaning and polishing it! (how I love classic car ownership!) :D

Awesome stuff! :) The water should run off a lot more easily if you apply a generous layer of wax after cleaning and polishing.

Rear exhaust hanger snapped on the Astra. GRRR! Rope it is, until I get a replacement tomorrow in work.

Nope, never. I would like a mk2 cosworth though black on black. :)

Buying another r/c car atm, so might keep the astra for a while and concentrate on the mini more.
Jul 26 2015 07:49 PM -

Hey that is not a bad thing. Minis love attention ;) Over here mk2 2 door escorts are relatively cheap.

Just went in the garage for the first time in a couple of weeks, to take a look at a leaky shower, and opened the door, and could not hep but stare at the mini whilst going from the back to the front of the garage. I really do miss driving 'her'. :(

Might buy a hedge trimmer for my hair cut on 14/15 August. I really could be turned over, and used as a, rather large, mop. :/

I remember when you could buy a vauxhall nova for sod all. The prices on ebay are just silly. :(

MX5s are awesome...as long as u can take all the mobile hairdresser comments from ur mates!!

Noticed there's quite a few z20let engines going cheap on ebay for around £500. :/ The astra would go well with 200-250 ish BHP. :)

Would it not be a good idea for all TMF members attending MITP to buy a CB radio. :) Talk to each other on the way down, up side to side lol.
