Think I've heard of it.
I'll look out for that, sounds good. Used to do a bit of that myself. Mk3 Escorts. Mate did the mechanicals, I did all the monkey work like the valeting. Buy them at £50 sell them at £325. The reason for £325 was that my mate was convinced that was the sweet price point, and it was his show. They did sell fast, though.

I used to do Minis. Not for money though. Just 'cos I liked them. Mine went pretty quick! There's not a job on those I've not done. All ended up modified and tuned.
My van was geared to pull 106mph at max revs in top and left things like XR2's standing! Owned thirteen Minis.
Trick suspension on that mini? Is that a factory colour?
