Hi!

I have been floating around here for quiet some time, finally created an account not so long ago and I guessed it was about time I showed my face!

I am just over halfway through rebuilding a 1984 998cc Mayfair. It was a beer induced spur-of-the-moment ebay buy back in July. At the time I was actually looking for another old Land Rover to do up but thats another story. Anyway, I was ment to be just tarting it up and selling it on but it turned out to be a proper rot box and a few months down the line its morphed into a flip fronted shell. The front is more or less finished, just a drivers a-panel to fit. Just the rear to finish and a tinker with the motors internals. I won't go on too much, I will let the pictures tell the story!

by the way, my name is gavfoz, but you all look frendly so you can call me Gav!

Cheers

When bought:

New rear subframe

Current state

Good luck with repairing her, seems like youve got a little bit of work to do.

You could start a thread in the project's section to keep us up to date

Nice mini Gav,

Perhaps you should start a project thread to keep us all updated on progress

Cheers

OH MY GOD! MINI SPECIAL EXACTON ALLOYS!!! MMMMMMMMMM!

God they're nice.

Sorry i just had a little accident.

Cheers folks.

I will sort something out for the projects thread in abit. Got tons of photos just they need resizing and uploading etc.

Retro 10: So you like the wheels aye? They are soon to find a new home on a Mini Special restoration project a local gent is working on. I am going to stick with 10s though. Either gonna get another set of retro 10s **cough** or probably go for 6inch wide Starmags but get them powder coated dark grey or black.

Chow for now
Gav
