Title: in the garage
Post by TRACEYS_LIMO on Sep 20^th, 2008, 4:30pm

hi it would be lovely to have a section for projects people have got as work in progress, such as cars and bikes which, i am sure others would be intrested in, i am like another member working on a mini for my son, if you think getting parts for scorpios is hard try getting doors for a 1990 mini. even scrap yards have less minis than scorpios, mind you the knuckles are suffering today now why did i stop driving minis :D

In the 80's I worked for Howley racing in Warrington. We used to race prepare all the minis and later metros for the likes of datapost and everest double glazing...

Steve Soper was one of the drivers back then!

I used to have a 1460 racing mini and a garage full of spares; long since gone though now.

Spares used to be so easy to get with masses of them in scrapyards. Unfortunately, Minis were so badly built with such crappy metal, they rusted away far too quickly

I had my eye on a blue Paul Smith mini a while back. Black leather special edition one. Unfortunately they are still fetching 3 grand plus for a 1998 model!

Gee, and they say us Scorpio fans are weird. :'(

Minis ? the worst little noisy rustbucket of an excuse for a car since ........EVER !

I'd even prefer a Morris Marina :o

What a great idea !!!! Just starting a Mk2 Golf GTi which my wife is going to use until my son Tom is old enough to drive (he is only 12 at the moment).
Will keep you informed of the progress

Nice to see another corsair rescued baz :)

Must have made you cry twice tho - once after the accident, and again when you found out just how much that front wing was going to cost you :o >:(

My other passions are also cars lol - MkV Cortinas and Sierras :) - currently converting my 88 XR4x4 from 3.2 (converted 2.8 ) to a BOB running on MS :)
