I have been putting off doing the floor on this side so have nearly got the engine all rebuilt. Just needs the head sticking on & a lick of paint -

I'm waiting for a toe board repair panel to come before I can do the floor so have finished the engine off & given it it's first coat of paint -

I'm hoping to have it done for Bingley as I think that would be a good place to try & sell it. I'm not at all sure if I'll make it but I'm going to try.

Wish I didn't have such a time consuming job so I could have the time to work on my mini like this Josh.

Nice though.

Never mind.

Wonder what that guy's time was over the quarter?

I never realised that you was restoring this to sell. :( If you decide to go to Bingley you can convoy down with me and Simon. No doubt we'll end up doing the toll road twice and end up turning it into an 8 hour adventure but it'll be FUN! Plus it's good to have back-up support isn't it :P

The engine looks great Josh, nice work mate :-)

This sounds like a PLAN. Makes me think I need to buy a mini to do it in :P

Still going well though, same as Craig, didn't realise it was to sell :ermm:

Going well, good luck with getting it ready in time :-)

Yeah I only ever bought it to use while I was doing the clubby then do up & flog. I wish I could keep it but I have 5 cars on the road at the moment as it is, that adds up to a lot of tax, MOT's etc!

It's a plan batman, I'd better get cracking!

Aww man that's a shame. It's your coolest most special Mini by far!

It's alright, Simon has another Mini to buy so he has work to do anyway! :P At this point in time Rita is the most complete car of the 3 LOL

Didn't have much toe board or flitch to attach the new floor to so ordered repairs from M-Machine which came today. Got the flitch done this morning -

Progress has halted on this because Josh is faffing about in Margate watching the specials.

'dedicated.'
