poo deal dude, i saw it sitting outside Dereks on my way home from work last night.

[Tony1003]

dereks had a quick look he said somethin is bent on the steering but hes not had a good enough look to tell me whats the total damage, could be steerin rack could be top arm could be subframe, i dont think its the subframe it wasnt touched no bends or even scrathes.


cant wait to get him back :'(

[Tony1003]

well looks like i wont be havin nigel back.

Ive had an estimate and its just too much for me too afford so looks like ill be sellin him off and buyin another working mini

Any ideas of what head be worth needs a new front end on really and possibly the shell squaring a tiny bit can be done just not by me by the way im takin the alloys off and putting the steels back on otherwise its a tidy mini 49000 on the 998 which runs sweet im the 3rd owner

So sad to see him go if i cant get rid imay have to break it, i just dont have the time or knowledge to do it meself :'(

Any suggestions would be much appriciated

Tony

Sorry to hear it mate, i know how you feel, its sounds very similar to what happened to mine, as i posted earlier in this topic. I put my hand in my pocket tho as it meant that much to me.

Hope you get one sorted soon.

I would put me hand in me pockets but ive been quoted 1400 for a new front end n the other lil things it needs doing i just cant afford that bill outright :'(

[Tony1003]

Anyone give us anyideas please guys im stuck

[miniboo]

keep it and do as much of the work as possible yourself. buy the parts bit by bit and do it yoself i say.

hey, try not to let her go. im sure someone can lend a hand, i would if you were closer (even though i couldnt weld your front end on)

"hey, try not to let her go. im sure someone can lend a hand, i would if you were closer (even though i couldnt weld your front end on)"

cheers for that

i would do that but its my daily driver and im resorted to train atm to get to work thats why i wanted a garage to do it i work all week and weekend

[blacktulip]

oh i see, what a dilemma. have you not got a friend who you can catch a lift with? i used to do that and slip em 20 quid, its cheaper than the train at least, then maybe u could take it off the road which u could save even more.

[Tony1003]

nope trains my only option dude im the only member of staff (small family shop) and its so much hassle this is really gettin to me lol just want me mimi back

[blacktulip]

i know how that feels bud, i dunno what to suggest, what about another mini from the local paper just as a runner, then u could sell it on here to someone.

[Tony1003]

i was gonna sell mine as a project for womeone who has the time for it n just put the money to a new one but i just dont know what id get for it
