Had a few issues with minisport and their delivery times and had to wait for quite a while for items to arrive nearly 5 weeks in some cases for shocks ect so thought i would give minispares a try, ordered on line, items showed in stock paid for them delivering on the courier service and 3 days later i am still waiting for them to be dispatched let alone delivered, i am a warehouse manager so know how these things work and i can get a parcel into france on a next day service to one of our customers for the same price i paid these guys for a uk delivery !!! why were they not dispatched the next day if they were in stock , called them and got a message saying leave a number and will call back, No call back, emailed them and still no reply ???, Really bugs me does this with these companies as its people like us that keep these guys in business, Rant over

I have always found Minispares a lot better than Minisport.

You're making good progress.  Have you decided on the colour yet?  As someone said earlier, pageant is a great colour and fairly unusual on a mini.

[mudwerx]

No Andrew not yet, really drawn to the old Almond green with old english white roof though, but then again something tells me to stay true and original but its not like its a classic early cooper where staying true would be more beneficial, wont ever get sold so its down to personal preference i think.

Well its been a busy few nights building up the front and rear subframes but there nearly finished, just waiting for a few more bolts and nuts ect from smiffys bits to arrive
