I know someone with an Ogle project if anyone's interested.
Yes you need to join the club to post on the Forum , But you do not need a car at all ,as i said before you get 4 mags a year and you can pay by paypal @ £16 per year, Members from all over the world, Take it easy if you do buy a project and view it first !, I was the guy that bought the one mentioned above (Jem ) and have had a lot of work to do on the body , There are a lot of steel parts moulded into the fibreglass and they tend to rot away including the mini cross member,Vortz marcos wrote:I knew the mk6 Marcos was available but I prefer the look of the mk 1-3. I tried to join the marcos forum but I guess you need to join the club to join the forum. I was really interested in that marcos that was recently on ebay but it went for a lot. As for Jems, it would be great if someone made them again like they have for the ogle. At the moment I will keep saving for one. It would seem that I missed that Jem that was for sale on the mini forum as that would have Been ideal for me.
My car had rotted cross member ,rotted rear wheel arches , rotted rear subrame mountings, rotted steel tube bracing in the floor, The roof was broken, the rear end around the window was broken and it had a hole kicked in the side, Front wheel arches had been cut + loads of damage to the fibreglass and gell coat cracks, The car had sat on a trailer under a tree with no glass in it , the rain had penetrated the fibreglass and the weather had taken its toll, Frost had blown the matting apart, When i picked it up my wife came with me ,You should have seen the dropped jaw and look of daggers at me, Got it home then it became a laughing joke who ever looked at ( why did he buy that thing, ) But don't be put of, Just go and see the car and be prepared to do some work if its a project!
Just over 9 months i have done all the body repairs, fitted most parts and this week started the engine
