Dunno mate, still absolutely no idea. Waiting to see if I can get it jigged or not, if not then I'll have to have a re think.

No luck with my old college I am afraid, they arnt willing to take anyones car in that doesnt attend the college,

I dont know how competent you are with repairs, but looking at your pictures again you could repair that shell but it would be easier re-shelling her,

any updates other than starting her up and feeling deprived?

(I did the same ther other day, made a driveway outside my house and felt horrible when I had parker her up and she was idling away looking sorry for herself)

Were you allowed to knock that wall down to put the Mini there? Your parents are kind!

[Alex_B]

Ahaha yes my mum did let me do it!

and to be honest the wall was being held up by luck before anyway, went out with a hammer and ended up just pushing it over and picking up the bricks, and the wall will be going back once I have straightend out my floorpan and she can go back on the road.

but a few months back I was looking at a project and mum suggested I knock the wall down and put it there,
Shes awesome !

[Mini-Mad-Craig]

Haha! Nice work. I got told off for leaving a can of WD40 and a wheel leaning against my house I just have a stash off crappy parts in boxes out of sight though.

My room is full of bits, especially now shes partially stripped down, starting to regret putting my new Yokos in my room though, rubber isnt the best smelling thing in the world

[RawlinsGTR]

What if I enroll at the college, then leave the day they jig it?

P.S. No progress, nope Cheers for asking though, appreciated

It wouldnt be the first time but ufortunatly I think you would have to complete the first two years before they allow you near a jig and you would have to complete all the tasks before getting youw own car in, so if you wanted your car done for summer 2015 the yeah but i dont think it would be any sooner, took me 2 years before i could take my car in

[RawlinsGTR]

Let me know what college it is, I'll infiltrate, find someone willing to pretend that it's their own car, and get them to do it.

Deal?

[Alex_B]

Its Eastbourne Vocational College (Evoc) and its motor vehicle body repair operations/ bodwork and paint (they change the name of the course weekly it seems)

unfortunatly I dont know anyone there anymore.

and yeah you can give it a go I tried it last year with someone elses car and got nowhere as the tutor at the time was a complete bellsniff and wouldnt agree it was my car

if you are thinking of selling your mini what price would you be looking for it?

[RawlinsGTR]

Anyone want to suggest a good place to go to get a quote for jigging the body out and sorting the front end? Or something?

[Alex_B]

I would suggest someone mini specific, I would imagine most of the big ones have the equipment, but I dont know how much it would cost, probably cheaper to reshell
