Erm well... i have the block and everything stripped down... I have just got it back from being re-bored. So that only needs a clean and then that can be painted.... I need to send the head away to be skimmed and then that can be painted and put the new valves and springs back in..

We are concentrating on doing the bigger bits of the body work whilst the engine is sent away!

Well i wouldn't say we was nearly done... Its just a matter of case when one thing is done the rest kind of just falls into place.. The body work is the main priority at the moment because we need to have it painted by Christmas...

Nah man...

We have found a guy that works in a backstreet body shop.. We went to get a quote for the insurance repairs and sray when i crashed the Cooper. Me and my dad both really liked him because he knows what he is doing and has worked on mini's all his life.

Unfortunatly because he is not VAT registered he didn't repair the Cooper we had to send it somewhere else...
But on a better note he has quoted me about £800 for the respray. Thats the cheepest quote i have got so far!

[dwealds]

I see what you mean about the centre console now mate, that looks wicked!!

Good luck with the coopers MOT, the Mpi's ran out on the 4th, it's off the road but when it goes through im sure it will fail!

Your car is going to be crackin when it's done, looking forward to L2B 2010!

Good luck

Yeah i was so excited when it arrived

Yeh i hope there is not alot wrong with it because i am relying on it to pass so i can go upto Ali next weekend and then onto Malvern... Did you manage to get hold of that guy from Ravern Racing?

Yeh its going to be awesome.... with all this new stuff i am putting on it still wont sound as mean as your cooper

Ha, to be fair it is hard to make anything sound as good as mine! lol, jokes.

I did try ringing but it was 5:25 so they must have gone home, im on a course this week so don't finish until 5.

Whats on at Malvern?

Haha your full of it.... Nah yours should sound nice with the amount of money you have spent on yours!

Ahhh ok... Hmm yeah... i cant remember where he said they was based or i would pop in and see what he has to say!

Malvern is the Indoor mini show! I think its up around the Midlands.

Oh wicked, i never even knew there was one!

I got a new aerial for my CB, arrived today, apparently it will out perform any other 3/8" mounting aerial so hopefully that will bump out reception up!

Yeah lets hope so... I had to take mine off because all of the rain water was coming into the rear window and going all over my Amp and 6x9's.
How big is the new aerial you have got then? Did you get it off the same company we got the radio's off?

It's 1.45 meters, i havnt put it on yet but it will look wicked. Yeah it is from the same company, called a Mythos 9000........I think!

I gotta seal up where the wire goes in, might try using some neoprene or something

Ahh cool i will go on the website and have a look...!

Instead of trying to seal it through the rear windows my dad was on about making a bracket that bolts off the rear bumper or somthing... then the bigger aerail wounldn't be so high about the car..

Yes! I thought that when i looked at getting one but couldn't think of a decent way of doing it. Im sure your Dad will think of something though
