How come ya son gave it up?? You were lucky there, part from the whole vandals smashing it up part! Did they do much other damage?

Looks nice from ya picture tho :lol:

Your partners Mini looks lush aswell! What else is there left to do to it till it's finished? Mind you, the fact that it's a Mini, prob means that it'll never be finsihed! teehee!

He is a bit skint at the mo (out of work) so I gave him what he paid for it (£275)
and thought I would use it myself.

Driver's door is badly dented also :sad:

Pauline's Mini (the Mayfair) has had a scuttle repair, 2 sills a floor pan repair, a driver's door skin and as you can see respray.
when we got it the brakes didn't work at all, there was quite a few engine bits off, form a head gasket job that had not been finished and most elecs didn't work.

Anyway, I sorted all that out so it just needs it's arches (new chrome ones),
the 2 back wheels to match the front ones, a walnut dash and a few bits & bobs.
We have all the stuff to go on it, it's just me being lazy.

Thanks for the compliments minipixie,
I'll post more pics soon.

Cheers :lol:

I don't seem to be able to use the File Attachments feature :cry:
does anyone know why please,
I assumed that if you attach a jpg in your post it showed a thumbnail
for others to click on,
am I right?

Cheers :lol:
