Permission to come aboard - gweir - 07-23-2016

Dear Members of the SA Mini Forum 

I am Gregory Weir.  My first car was a 1974 Mini Clubman Estate, which I rebuilt with my Dad in 1989.  I used the Mini daily untill 2003, when I put the car in storage when I went to study in Australia.  Last year we started stripping the car again and recently started yet another rebuild on the same car. We are in the fortunate situation that my father, my son and I are working together on this project. 

I have been searching all over the web for parts and info and came across your forum and joined immediately.  

I have already contacted some of your members with regards to second hand parts. I look forward to participating and contributing to the forum.  I thank you for your help and advice in advance.

Regards

Gregory

Welcome to the forum Gregory Smile It's great to hear that you used a mini as a daily for such a long time. Mini Clubman estates are not too common and look really cool. It would be cool to see some pictures of your clubby estate Smile
