Either a late 20s chummy or an Ulster would be great, driven both before with very fast engines

I do find it annoying that I now see kids with driving licences that say 1996 on them and they are getting served in pubs. I always want to kick them to the back of the que at the bar

Bad news, had a crash in my mini. On a road I drive every day, doing 35/40 ish (2,000 rpm in 3rd) turn a gentle bend to find a chaved up old van in the middle of the road. I swerve to avoid it. Swerve up into the grass and rock bank, once up onto it i spot a large boulder, swerve again, lock up the rear wheels and spin into the wall front first. Destroyed the bumper and grille and spots, pushed hard on the front panel, bent some of it around on the seam where the bumper is, and pushed all the...

Colour doesn't matter really apart from the obvious. Like white will look dirty quicker than a dark colour. I've just gone for black

I'll prob end up going black too :)

Ahhh...that lovely feeling when you get a minispares delivery....ruined when you open it and realise you've either ordered the wrong part (check) or forgotten to order something (double check)...and now with a Bank holiday weekend, deliveries go to sleep!!!

And triple check - there is a faulty part in there too!!!

How many days work (roughly) do people reckon it takes to weld a new front end (front panel, outer wings, a panels)?
Apr 16 2014 11:16 AM

Done by a Pro or done by a keen amateur? A Pro with the right gear could do it in a day assuming its straight panel swap with no rot to deal with.

to aline it all and assuming it not a welded up heap 2 working days
