Hi All, firstly, thanks to Jun for a great shoot!!!

The car comes out in the may issue of MW

I only found out today that there was a forum on this!

Without sounding to modest, i am really proud of the car, and all who contributed (Link, straightline, Northern mini parts when henry owned it)

I'd also like to thank those of you for your interest, I am now in Sydney (with the car) and hope to enter every show i can, not for the awards, but to hopefully give some ideas to those who wish to build a custom car & maybe even motivate some of you to show those UK guys what we aussies can achieve. I really would like to see more people customise these little wonders, and get into some mags.

I am happy to discuss the tech & audio details, etc with anyone who is interested, let me just say, you get what you pay for, this 1440 is really quick, couple that with a great drive train, suspension and its all good (i beat a late commadore to third gear, she backed off, ha, ha)

Hope to chat to some of you soon.

Ron.

Well done Ron

All minis are brillient but some restorations reach "classic" status. Yours has gone past that and in my opinion is "Benchmark".
