Told you it'd be worth the wait!

Yeah, you were right!
You only want to recommend them so everybody goes in and see's your magazine spread, framed on their walls!!!!

Pictures will be on by tonight!!!

To be honest, I didn't even KNOW they'd framed and hung it! They just asked if they could use the spread seen as they've rebuilt him. Didn't cost me anything, so I agreed!

FINALLY got round to adding some pic's that i took before putting her back in the garage!!!

Before;

Thanks mate - i've still got a fair bit to do before it's exactly how i planned.
Got an exposed weave carbon fibre bonnet and boot lid being made as we speak, got new chrome spot lights+fog lights being fitted, minifin rear brakes, new interior, fibreglass dashboard and centre console with new dials, full roll cage, and then when all that is done - going to get a promotive R1 kit to give it the power to match the looks!!!!
Gonna be an expensive few months, but it will be well worth it when its all done!!!

They have a low-loader recovery truck that they use to collect and deliver - means you wont have to drive it there
Give them a call to see what kind of prices they would charge you - or alternatively, if you are going to Himley next sunday, my mini is on display on their stand, so come and see me and i will introduce you to them

[matminicity]

Very tasty

Cheers Michelle - still not as nice as yours though

[GottaDesigner]

Thanks and you're welcome!

Monty's a special case, black's one of those colours that looks cracking when it's handled properly... Paul & his crew know exactly what they're doing with it! They deserve all the credit. They started the ball off, I just kept it rolling with several hours of spit and polish a week.

Monty and I are actually on the Ltd Ed's stand at Himley, so we'll see you there!

You're better to speak to them personally/via phone

Paul isn't adverse to coming to have a look if the Min can't be moved. At the moment they have an 8 week waiting list for major work though and are still struggling to organise themselves after the recent move.

Went to see them last week to get a hose... place looked like a bomb had gone off in the shop Not the organised Old Skool I'm used to! LOL

[shorty]

the mini can be moved id jsut rather not drive it with the radius arm as wobbly as it seems.

well as far as a ino the left sill needs replacing, hole in rear bin needs welding and radius arm replacing.

how long would all that usually take to do then?
and yeh i have heard they have long waiting list hence why im trying to find somewhere closer to home to be honest.

To be quite honest, i wouldnt have a clue about how long it would take them to do the work - i know they like having mini's with easy fixes/fast turn-arounds as most of the stuff they have there are long term projects, so it would definately be worth having a chat with them/going to see them.
Shame your not coming to Himley Hall - i thinks its going to be a great show this year
