After 30 years in the same house my olds are moving.
From mulgrave to Mirboo North for you melbourne folk.
Leaves me in a spot. apart from the no babysitters when I finally get around to that.
My mini and bits resides in their garage, I have a little shed that would house it but I don't know how I'd get it there ( big hilly block in upper ferntree gully).

I got a leyland s with the engine all ready to go but out of the car, has a 112G295 head all fixed up with big valves, double springs and ready for unleaded. Needs a new radiator and a few other odds and ends. Brakes are good completely rebuild. Body has been resprayed and has one ding where my dad pushed his mg into it. Damage is below the front bumper. Has minimal body fixtures. Flares are plastic and painted and ready to bolt on. Needs 12 inch rims and tyres, exhaust and the interior is out and needs a new head lining and re-upholstering. electrics I think are good.
I got 5 G to spend to get it running and roadworthy. I got no time to spend on it myself. I'm gunna ring link. I don't expect an accurate quote site unseen but I'm thinking about paying my way out. I might come into some more cash soon as I expect a bit of a bonus from work.

Anyone got any suggestions. I wanna drive my mini and this is the push I need.

I'm open to suggestions. Anyone bored with skills around the area would be great. I've read of a mini joint in bayswater.
Will 5 G do it for a minimalistic job. Any better answers? Anyone wanna help.
I'm considering a massive bbq with massive grog for any ausminiers who wanna help me with my 5 year project. I'm sure you guys could all get it done in a day.......
