thanks for all the comments lads. :)
this brother of mine is vtec mad :evil: but he will start with the bodywork first.
and c what happens after that.
if u could email me another entry form that would b great billy thanks :D

we got the car off a guy outside granard he brings in bikes and quads from england and sells them here. he brought in this mini for his cousin and then his cousin got killed on a bike so it was lying around his house so he advertised it on gumtree. and my bro had a honda nsr 125 that he could not sell so we did a part exchange . its was a good deal and everybody happy :D

hello all :D
well my brother started striping his mini this day last week. he plans on having it ready for mtm keep the preasure on him. he will know how far on he will be in a couple of weeks before he sends off his entry form. he is after deseaming it and welding up all the rusty bits. he is not lead filling it he is using a mixture of fibre glass and filler which is strong stuff and not a chance of it cracking. he used the same stuff on my own mini. here is a couple of pics i will keep ya posted as he makes progress :D
