nice project mate looks good

Well after almost 4 years, The mini has not made any progress due to moving house and not enough room to bring it with us. So it had to be left at our old farmhouse until we have space. The owner has agreed to keep the mini stored where it was until we come to get it (if they still remember after 4 years and not sold it without the v5c!), we still have all the v5c, and all paperwork etc...so hopefully this has not happened and it's still sitting there dry stored ready to go! 

 

Hopefully we can sort something out and get it to our new house and start the REAL work on it now we have money to put into it.

Keep us in the twist ;)

 

And best of luck digging it out of hibernation,
