I had a look on MiniResource's forum and they are building a projuect car. It sounds like quite a good idea, they are asking member of their forum to volunteer and help build the car. I like the idea and would help some people feel part of something and bring more attention to this club. Tell me if I'm being a bit silly?? :lol:

To be honest I was looking at getting a mini with TAX and MOT and building up a 13** engine over the summer in time for Castle Combe, I wouldn't mind using this as TMFs Project Car, I'll pay for everything since I was going to anyway, although if TMF could help to pay for massive stickers or something to put over it?! Just a thought?!

I'm sure some sort of fundraising could be organised just to help pay for more expensive stuff, along with some help and donations from members of the forum maybe.. :lol:

Best to find a pre 72 shell to avoid road tax... then build that up using a rusty donor car or forum member spare parts..
After that it can be sold to whichever member wants it and profits help the site and forum in general.

I really like this idea, and have wanted to do it for a while i will list some minuses..

it needs to be in the centre of the country,
people need to be willing to help
parts could be expensive
i think u all get the idea

failing that i got a shell you can use!! and prob other bits and bobs :tongue:

I like this idea too. Make it a van or a pick-up and it could be the support vehicle for the BH2N run..........

I bet between all of us on this forum we have more than a Mini in spares, so it wouldn't be hard to pool our resources.

I have a pick-up that needs a bit of TLC :fear: I'd love to see it on the road! :tongue:
