Hi all,

 

Hope we're all looking forward to the summer?

 

I have rebuilt a 1981 Rover Mini 1000 which came into my life in Bulgaria where I now live most of my life as something you would have cubed. It is now on the road legally after a lot of hard work, it now has a 1275 engine, disc brakes and a hell of a lot more.

 

It needs a few things to finish it off, they are mainly small items speedo not working, Rev counter not working etc. I just don't have the time to do this plus I am useless with electrics. I have tried many people here who claim to know what they are doing but they don't.

 

Does anybody out there know of a mechanic / electrician in this country who can help - preferably near Varna?

 

Thanks - Help! Pomosht!

Good luck with the Lada, to be honest I'mnot sure my Mini could get to Sofia without a truck!

Sounds like the sort of thing you'd be better doing yourself. They'll either be very simple & take less time than driving to a garage, or you'll need parts that will stop anyone fixing it until you've sourced them.
