Hey, I'm Lee Andrews. I'm new to the Mini World and loving it. My wife Paula and I have a website for our businesses called www.flashdogs.com.au
if you want to take a look to see what else we get up to.

I purchased a 73 Clubman S for $500 about Feb this year. Which i have already sold, as i found a '63' 850 for $1500. Im building a BMW 8v twin cam with a 1275 and changing to Rod change. I may plumb in a turbo???, I have a supercharger but not sure if i will use it or sell it.
(Any advise welcome)

The 850 is completely striped down and new pannels about to be welded in as the floor was rotten.

I have just finished building a shed off the carport for the mini project (s) as Paula had had enough of mini parts, engines and the body under the back patio. and fair enough too as i have new seats in the lounge room and hood lining and a 2nd hand 7 slate grill and new door rubbers in the family room, next to a Traxxis REVO 3.3 remote Nitro Car. She's great.

I have a feeling that mini's will be a life long Love.
Cheers Miniroy

Welcome aboard. Sounds like the 850 should go pretty well.

I might have to take a bit of responsibility for the BMW head. The plans for the 850 changed a bit after a ride in my 4efte van, huh Lee? :lol:
