A plee I believe is called for through this the mini clubs forum.
One is getting quite hacked off with ones older brother.
Basically, its got to the point when I am getting sick and tired of seeing the mini knightsbridge (aka sir never drives-alot) in 101 pieces in our garage. 3 reasons. 1.) its been there for 2 years doing noyt much more than gettin parts redone and then left with a dust sheet over them. 2.) getting annoyed with brother when he could be getting on with putting it back together. 3.) Lack of garage space to rebuild mine!
I am getting to the point when i need the garage back as the car is going in for a full respray as soon as possible but some prep work needs to be done and I dont particularly want to take the risk of ruining a cooper sport interior with a nice load of rain, or for that fact get myself drowned like I was earlier trying to get the last few bits back on the car!
And so, to the point of the matter, A plee to all of those with great knowledge and know how, I ask please if there is any date weekend coming up that we could rally together to get the car back on at least 4 wheels then it'd be much appreciated. Food, tea, beer, petrol moneys etc would be included.
Its fairly simple, as its subframes are completely rebuilt, the engine is ready to go in, and it got all the parts it needs in a box, but my brother declined the offer of my help and well, it really needs more than 1 person working on it to get it back on form!
So please, if you think you can help, REPLY!
Many thanks for your time and patience in listening to this rant.

I love those things, as do my parents who were going to get one, and then suddenly as we checked with the national park, we'd have to have planning permission for it! Yes its a tent! but as it would be "an eye saw" or "an infringement of the local outstanding natural beauty" we can't put one up!

Can you post some pictures so we all know what sort of horrors we would be facing ?
Is everything readily to hand & labelled, or is it going to be a bit Biblical with a lot of seek and ye shall find going on ??

As it stands, there is the shell, the 2 fully rebuilt subframes and all the necessary bits, and a box full of goodies (new subby mounts, rubbers etc) so its all there, Ill get a pic up asap.
