Hi,
I'm Gav and I'm new, just became a imoc member.

Long story, but Basically after buying my 89 mayfair in late 08 and it catching fire as I was driving it 3 weeks later its just about finished now as it gets a stage 1 kit with a twin exit exhaust.

See what you think.....

Glad to see that you have a fire extinguisher close by in case of another fire!!!!!

Gorgeous looking Mini Gavin.
Looking forward to seeing it at MTM :)

Did you get sorted with a carb unit?

Thanks lads !!! she's still a rolling project but aren't they all. If you're looking for something similar, Call 00441 942816612 and ask for Stuart, he makes them to order part time and uses his work phone number. They'e not cheap or quickly made but he can do absolutely everything including power coating of seat frames ect... Mine came in two pallet sized boxes 100% professional job. Plus it was a tiny fraction of the prices I was getting around munster.

Was thinking that was from Ashley James autotrim, he done my interior as well, excellent job but it's good i was in no hurry as it took almost a 9mts from i ordered it till the door cards went on but it is a super job must post some pictures up in case anyone is interested!
