Hi guys and girls

 

My names Craig from central beds

Ive just bought my 2nd mini, the first one i had a few years ago was a project that i unfortunatley couldn't complete and ended up selling.

This time around iv found what i hope is a solid example that i can start to make my own. 

look forward to scrolling through the forum for ideas a info. Cheers.

Welcome Craig.

I used to live near Henlow and flew gliders from the airfield. Are you in the RAF? Which Mini do you have?

There is a Mini restoration specialist about 4 miles from you, just North of Hitchin on the road to Henlow Camp. His name is Chris Spennewyn and he is well known for Mini restoration and service.

Ill have to try and get in contact with Chris. if anyone had a contact number> otherwise ill have a little google.
