Bargain! Loads of nice bits on there.

Could even use it as a run around till august then stick the engine in the Mini!

[DavesBluey]

[Bigbudders]

Yep, deffo a bargain, that engine should be alright for a good while, if its been serviced ok.

dude keep yours and find a shell or bit more and build your own 1275!! you gotta keep your mini and buil another then you can decide on wich 1 to keep?

Hmmmmm, the guy is also breaking this Cooper LE.

I'd be looking very hard at the chassis and VIN numbers on your new metro. Personally I'd never trust someone with private feedback!

[DavesBluey]

i checked out the car reg on the DVLA site and all details seem to check out with the details he listed the car wih.

bargain!!

With the private feedback thing, a while ago I bought some 'john cooper' alloy 4 pots from the same guy, but back then he was known as s_works.
The guys name is steve fiddimore, and apparently (from somone replying to a post of mine on miniclassic forum) he had something to do with breaking stolen minis a while back. Im not sure if thats true or not as I never found out. Having said all that, he is probably fine and it was someone gossing uneccessarly!

The calipers broke soon after when the sprung a leak through the casting and I lost my brakes! Extreamly scary.

Dont want to worry you but..... Sorry.

Why would someone change their user ID all the time?

cheers adammini, to be honest i think i would rather have not known that :'(

[adammini]

Im sorry DavesBluey, I wasnt sure if I should post that or not , but if it was me id like to know.
When I bought the calipers thats what someone said to me. Having said that, he was very helpful in helping me to fit them to my mini.

I feel a tad bad telling you as the metro sounds like a great bargin.

Yea, I checked the reg through the RAc checker, but then that won't flag up a ringer. Just saying be careful and check that the chassis numbers or VIN plate hasn't been tampered with. Although that is something you should check anyway.

[Sam]

I don't really think he's gunna go to the effort of robbing a metro, and ring it for £80?!
