My name's Olly, and as the title suggests, I'm 17 and a first time driver. I live in Higham, Kent
In February, I bought a 1984 Yellow City for £700, that I have named George Michael.
I haven't passed my driving test yet, and since one of Footman James requirements is a full lisence, he is currently uninsured and undriven.
He's just had some work done by a friend's dad, who works at Double Dee Autos. Brakes unseized, New Ball Joints, new subframe mounts, a big weld in the boot pan and new exhaust brackets: total £250
I'm hoping to do a proper restoration in the summer, despite knowing very little about cars past what i've come to know in the last 4 months, having no money,and no more suitable place to work than a narrow pebbled drive, as well as parents who remain thoroughly soured faced at the thought of me even owning a mini, let alone pulling it to bits! About 5 mins walk down the road there's 4 mini's owned in the space of 3 or so houses, so hopefully i'll pluck up the courage to talk to them one day and hopefully get a biit of helpy help from them!
So that's me, any questions?
