morris_ital_lover Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 +1 on the lights.... No idea why but I do prefer the recessed lights. I'm becoming more and more tempted by an A-series metro... parts don't seem too scare, it has the simple A-series engine, cheap to buy, presumably relatively cheap to run and not too big. There's got to be a massive that I've missed other than becoming a metro owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skizzer Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 That Mini's partial leather like my sister is partial Elle Macpherson. Meanwhile, got a MIG welder and a few miles of wire for Christmas and wondering what to do with them? Look no further: Now that's what I call patina.

cort16 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Earn $$$ by investing 1500 quid in this (+probably another 10 grand getting it through it's MOT) then driving it around your local town centre stuffed full of chesty potato shaped women hanging out the roof drinking blue WKD. I'm inhttp://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/limousine-lincoln-towncar-120-american-stretch-limo/1006928884 At 450 quid you could surely scoot about in this until the MOT gave way then ship it off to uzcheqistania?http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/mercedes-s-class/1006931279 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cort16 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Future shite? Either way this is the first one i've seen for around a grand even if it has no mot or tax.

Mr_Bo11ox Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Ah, the world of classic minis: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Classic-Mini- ... 0526431124 The car was seriously damaged at a Curbourgh Sprint meeting. At the time nobody was offering Sprint conversions and a quote I had at the time was outrageous for a simular bodyshell. I used the subframes and the Downton modified engine in another car which I then used in competition overseas, I still own this car. There is also a spare fuel injected eignt port engine that came with the Mini Sprint, I could offer these parts by separate negotiation and arrangement if the price is right. SO the bodyshell is toast and you've taken the good bits off and are keeping them, basically you're selling an ID for £3000. I am fully aware of unscrupulous traders and this offer is made on a strictly non returnable basis but I guarantee the description is 100% correct. Sounds like you have learned from the very best young Jedi knight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
