Hi all..
Having joined today I thought I better introduce myself...
I bought my first Car, a 1963 Morris Mini Traveller, in 1967. I had it for 11 years until the tin worm got the better of it. Knowing now where and why Minis rust away I thought I could do better than Leyland so I bought a new body shell in 1976 and from the remains of a scrapped and incomplete 1964 all steel traveller and mostly new parts I built myself a new car and registered it as new in 1978. It was our only family transport for many years and 35 years on I still have it and no welding or replacement panels have been needed.
At the Gaydon Mini show a few years ago it was one of 12 cars nominated for best of the show. It is not and was never intended to be a show car it was just another working Mini and it's still in its original paint.
I also have a Gardner Douglas GD427 Kit Car which I built over some 9 years or so and also a classic BSA Lightning Motorcycle.
Now then, it's not often I need any help with the Mini but I could do with a bit of advice which I'll post separately in the relevant section.
Dave
