    He has just torn his own face off D: the wheel hit the arch, the plastic outer arch ripped off, the wing / metal arch has all buckled up into the wheel, its twisted the front around, all the paint is flaking off....... WHY BOB WHY!! I havnt the money to fix him this time and im no good at body repairs, im way too ocd. I could cry. in disbelief.

    :/ taken a better look at it today, ive managed to get two of the bolts back onto the s-p arch. as the garage would only pull on it I thort id give it a go on the wing, managed to pull it off of the wheel a bit and back into rough shape, cleaned and touched up some of the chipped off and flaked off paint, going to cote the bigger sections in WD40 so I can use it without it rusting on the drive out ive organised on Sunday, it should be okay to drive, just take it carefully. doesn't look to...

    When i told people about my dream Mini and how i wanted i got laughed at :) but now its coming together and proving those who doubted me wrong. Don't give up you will find your Mini!
    P.s i found the best time to look for mini was autumn time a long time away i know but thats when people realise the project was too big for them :)

    Lots of people do it. As long as you prepare them properly, they look good.
