After 5 Years - My Minor is finished!!!!!

Post by BigDawgV8 »

Hi All,

After 5 years of building, I finally put the finishing touches to my Minor today.

I'm chuffed to say the least. :D :D :D

Sure! there will be more little jobs to do as-and-when but the mog is now insurable and MOT-able - so that is the next step.

Cheers

Martin :D :wink:

You can't give news like that without pictures( for the less intelligent like me) So will you go to Billing?

Thanks for all the comments.

Thanks Ray, I really don't know what you mean...................... :D :wink:

Some of you on here will have seen my Minor in it's previous life (with Fiat power) or as a work in progress, but the mods needed to get the v8 in place have made it even more.....erm!....unique!

Blimey that was quick mate.

Thanks! :wink:

BTW - I don't like the number plate.
I'm thinking of using one of those square jobbies, mounted to one side.

Cheers
