Go Freddie Go!!!

[Hannioli]

Yay!! He's going to have more oompf to him soon!

He's definitely going to be running a hell of a lot better than he was when you last saw him Millsy!! What with not wanting to start in a muddy field of SantaPod

lol Freddie sounds alot like mine! dont worry it is a mini thing. my little brute is in bits in my garage! so no chance of him running away just yet.

hehe. been there and done that. i started the front end as soon as my floor started cracking round the front subframe brakets! check them! under the carpets regularly!

as the last thing you want is them cracking ferther intill they are all the way and give way.. ripping your legs off in the process!

then again i broke my top engine mount. and only had the other "staibliser" one the other side.

all good stuff. keep going and Freddie will be fine!

[Hannioli]

hehe thanks Andy

At least Freddie's not in bits on a garage floor, silly mini should be grateful for that

Although he is kinda currently sitting in bits in DC motors waiting for everything to be fixed on and his tune up

I'll give those floors a good looking over when I get him back, don't want them falling to bits on me after all!

I'm seeing if I can nab a friend's engine steady he doesn't need it anymore anyway seeing as he's selling his mini

Things will be a bit slow with project Freddie, just going to keep fixing anything that breaks until I have enough money to do his total refurb and makeover he'll be changing names when that happens too

I'm so excited! Can't wait to get him back from DC's and drive him vroom vroom!!

[Hannioli]

Yay!! Freddie's all done! Getting him back tonight!

[Hannioli]

Woop!

Turns out Freddie's replacement rear subframe wasn't only put on in place of the old but was stone chipped before it was painted and then fully waxed before it was put on!

Took one quick photo in the rain of him when he arrived last night, not a very good photo...but I'm planning on washing him later and taking a few more photos hopefully the weather stays as it is now too!

aw! Yay for Freddie!!

[Retro_10s]

I like the roof rack Han

[Hannioli]

Thanks, but it's not mine and is only on there temporarily!!

[Hannioli]

Gave Freddie a quick little wash to get all that muck off him and took some piccies! I'm starting to grow fond of the roof rack now













But I noticed some scratches on him

slight gauges in his bum



Some on his drivers side don't know how or when they got there...

[Bean]

Aw, little cutie!

Any chance the ones on his door are there from any keyrings that you may have?


Still, I think he looks ace!!

[Hannioli]

Nope the one's on his drivers side are actually a lot worse than they look in the pic Definitely not from me or Neil and any key rings

[Pie]

Hey Spanner............

Nice rack lol

Freddie looks nice and clean, did you ensure he had his favourite bubblybaff?.........



(*sigh* childhood memories - do they still make matey?? )

[Hannioli]

Freddie made it all the way down to Newquay and back again with no problems Apart from a flat tyre and maybe a slow puncture in one of them but I count that as having no problems!! He was running so gorgeously yum!! That stage 1 and the tuning are just great He sounds so much gruntier now, he growls he does!

Took him down to the beach a few times and we had ourselves a little photoshoot

















And then on the beach with Wolfy's mini too

[Hannioli]

Ooh forgot that I'd bought a few bits for Freddie down in Newquay.



Got him some smoked side repeater lenses, some clear indicator lenses and chrome washer jets Might put some of them on to him later. I'm starting to buy little things here and there that'll finish off his make over once I have enough monies to do it
