well am sick as fook, thats it had enough ! cant effing afford this sh** no more ! mini is going into storage its 1 step forward and six back !!!!!! a rear screen which was in a rack on me garage roof, and has been there for about 15 years appears to have magik'd itself onto me car and f****d it ! the bonnet is a total loss as the gell coat is gone and the weave is now showing, and there is a sweet gash in the top of me wing ! I cant f*****g believe this.........wont be able to afford a re spray for like 12months now, I have just totally had enough. then if that wasnt enough, i was taking a T3 off some manifolds for "Racing is for life" (Richie) and the fecking stud snapped so there is a refund via paypla to sort out too !

Hi,
I hate it when things like that happen. :(
However I'd carry on, get everthing else done then get it sorted after. Just incase it gets any chips or scratches along the way. The wing is repairable and you shouldn't need to paint all of it just the top.
Manifold should be do-able too with some heat or a drill.
Cheers,
Gavin :)

Yep, I know the feeling, I have 2 projects on the go and the race car, 2 steps forward and 6 back seems to be the norm.

Stick with it Richie..

That's a nightmare, i hate it when things like that happen. Have a beer and a week off from thinking about the car, then get cracking again. I've a spare (metal) bonnet you can have to keep you going and the wing can be fixed for less then £100.

Let me know size and length of the stud you need and i'll get one in the post for you (as long as my dad has stock)

Dont give up because of a few stupid set backs.

I find that when something like that happens... go for a Beer beer beer until you cool off...

Or vent your anger on the rear screen*evil*

Mine was about that old when the wind blew the drivers door back and the front edge some how touched the A panel. About a week later the bonnet got scratched really badly when it fell upside down on rough tarmac. Now I have rust hanging out of every panel again so it's done the full circle.

! i feel for ya bro! its gutting!

i'm going the matt/satin finish & not bothering anymore *tongue* my car is covered in scratches n chips noW!

SKYLINES ARE LIKE CLITS, EVERY FLANGE SEEMS TO HAVE ONE: see this sticker on my silvia

That's terrible! Happened to me once as well. Just finished my Mini, parked it on my parents' driveway, 5 mins later my father came home and parked his Volvo 940 in the back of my Mini: a few white stripes on the Volvos front and a 10 cm shorter Mini....*angry*

First time my father allowed me to yell at him..:)
