Good evening to you all!!

Did ya buy it?

I asked the geezer if the cracks on the front end were purely cosmetic or structural and its all gone quite.

phoned for a couple of quotes and bearing in mind the engine is shot, at 900 quid and possible specialist repairs its maybe more cost effective to go for a new shell at 2K, strap on all new parts, SVA test and get a brand new reg ?

If I bought that one I'd bone it and build it up with new parts anyway and i'd be stuck with Q plate.

I can see your point?

£2k for a shell ain't bad, what else do you need?

classed as a kit car - just got to keep all the receipts and do a half decent photo journal,and I'm sure John's scrutineering of all work will get it through SVA no worries.

fella with z car managed it so no reason why not with pro-mo conversion. They're officially recognised as a 'new' major body component by performance direct insurance now, so no reason for SVA to think any different ?

all I've been warned about is regestering a new 'mini' it'd have to be a 'minus' or BMW might get their knickers in a twist. - yeah, like I'm gonna bring down a historic automotive empire with one car

[Shifty]

So you bought the R1 lump then?

Mate of mines an SVA tester so if you need any advice, I can ask him?
