I read your whole thread and i have to say i am impressed how you kept your chin up threw it all. I would of been angry witht he first paintjob etc, but you kept your cool through it all. :-

The car looks great, congratulations on sticking with her and building her up again.
On the selling note i think you should drive it and enjoy it untill you are bored with the car, then maybe go for something different. Maybe a bigger engine, maybe a newer model?

You have a years MOT so your not in a hurry to get rid of her before the MOT runs out are ya :o

Just my 2 Cents - oh also my first post to these forums, nice community you all have here ;D

Wow sexy little pictures of Barbara!

Me and Vern love them roads but when big nasty 4x4s try to run you off them it's a bit scarey.

Babs is bee-ee-eau-tea-full

Just spent half an hour reading through the thread!! great stuff minipixie, i like how you started the thread with a total respray!! even though you experienced botched work!! i admire your patients, i would of had a sh!t fit with the boss of the garage..and ripped his genitailer up through his throat...

Still you hang on in there, someone else said you kept your chin up!! i find that cooool aswell, its pretty easy to loose heart of money and mini...

And now your thinking of selling after all that?? ( better the devil you know!! )

Great thread and keep us updated and the good work!!

Cheers!!
Have decided not to sell her (just yet anyway)!! Would miss her too much!

Next on the list, I think, is going to have to be some new shoes and socks (wheels and arches in mini talk) teehee!!

Any suggetsions as to which arches to go for? Think I want something a little bigger than she has at the moment!!
