Heh there's no way she's pinching any of molly's parts! Part nicking is just not on!  Didnt get a chance to get any fancy pics today, but heres a couple shots so you can look forward to the proper ones when we get time!    I know, that exhaust is a bit of an eyesore, but since fitting a new exhaust and letting the insurance know its modded etc is expensive, I went straight down to halfrauds and got the least chavvy exhaust tip there ;D  ;D Isnt he lovely? |

Looks superb and British Open Classic Minis are cool. Now that numberplate looks familiar, did a previous owner live in the Rhondda Valley by any chance? It's just that I remember a few years back seeing an old couple driving about in a BOC with a very similar numberplate. |

Yeah got it from a chap who was running a garage called old school engineering in the valleys. You reckon you know it? I don't know it that well, but I can remember several years ago whilst I was passing Julian Waites body repairers (located by the river in Treorchy, Rhondda), the old chap who I assume owned it, was collecting it after it had received a fair bit of body repair work. I did eaves drop a bit and I think Julian had cut out the rot and resprayed the doors, but that's all I heard. I'm pretty sure I saw it prior to this at Pentre Motors, whilst it was undergoing an MOT (where I generally take my Mini). I also remember seeing it parked at the local supermarket and it always looked to be in good shape. Oh and I know the owner of Old School Engineering, he used to live behind me. He restored a late Mini 1275GT not so long ago and that looked absolutely mint: - www.oldschoolengineering.co.uk/index.html |
