Re: Will Sparrow Mini Restoration
Fantastic David, you've come a long way since I first saw that 'as found' photo of a rusty rally car covered in dust. I have seen your car a couple of times along the way (Bulee and NEC) and it's a credit to you (and Will of course !).
Hope you're bringing her to Blyton !

Well deserved Dave! Some transformation from when I saw it in your place in 2010.

Re: Will Sparrow Mini Restoration
Top job David, great to see it all come together and fantastic to have Will's input to ensure everything is just as it should be. You must be over the moon with how it's all worked out. But yeh, echo comments re seeing the car at Blyton 
Niall.
PS I'd like to see a nice thick layer of mud & road grime over the car though!
