Hi Tricky
yeah the old girl is getting there, nearly right to fire her up.

I have recently got a new computer and for some reason it wont let
me get into photobucket so i can post some pictures, but i'm working on it.

Went flying through Burpengary on the tilt train the other week ,but it was
going a bid fast to hop off for a visit

cant wait for a fur coat on the cat ,it should look awesome

Cheers Hallsey

Simon,

Why dont you come over for a drink and a swim while you're in town.

Maybe a BBQ?

Before Xmas, I hope so.

Cheers,
Tricky

Just had a talk to the Spray Painter, and we are trying to get it done this side of Xmas.

He has a backlog of cars atm, for one reason or another (people changing their mind after he has sprayed their car!!).

I can't wait to see the results myself, as he is really keen to do it because it will be so different to what he normally does. He has a Mini in there at the moment he is doing.

Stay tuned, it will happen soonish.

On another note, finished the new dump pipe on the weekend and will mate it up to the rest of the exhaust this Saturday. Its all now 3", so should flow a treat. Pics to follow.

If anyone wants a dump pipe to suit a Starlet with CT9 in a Mini let me know, going cheap.

Cheers,
Tricky

Cheers

Well it was very hot here over the weekend, which conspired to keep me out of the shed. The thermometer said 39 degrees :shock:

Anyway, I did get a wee bit done on Sunday. The rear spoiler was undercoated and then high-build primered and then rubbed back ready to install.

Here are some pics of it bonded to the Mini. I know a lot of people dont like spoilers etc on a Mini, but I think it compliments the Zeemax kit really well. It is quite small, and nothing like those silly whale tail things that look like a reject from a 911.
