BONGO Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 i was under the impression it was near completion?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
011001000110010101110010 Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Oli has 99% of the new sexy shiney bits. Just needs the shell sorting and everything fitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prawny Baby Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 It is VERY near completion, all the bits have been bought, the wiring is sorted but in a box, all the finishing parts have been done just not fitted to the car, the engine is ready to bolt in and run up.It was a full rolling shell just needing the engine and interior, then Oli decided to have a HUGE amount of custom metal work done, and thats where our dear friend matt comes in!Hard to believe I know, but its actually fairly near completion, most of the hard work has been done, its just down to matt to finish the shell.Matt you are a star, thanks for everything, I will send Carol a link to this page this evening.Ill be in touch real soon mate.

BenLeacock™ Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 I like this idea, ill keep a eye out and watch it turn into a beast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 I think a grand unveiling would be brilliant. Especially a vid of it running. It shall be beasty.I hope it will turn out pretty much how Oli wanted it, I can't see why not to be honest, sounds like he had it all planned out.

Olis Mum Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 We are all longing to see some photos of the work to date - PLEASE. Thank you Matt from the bottom of my heart for all you are doing. Can't wait to see 'Little Dobby' back in Wilton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Mum Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 May i just ask Prawny, what you gonna do with the mini once its done? In answer to this question, the mini will be kept safely and as already said, will be taken to all the shows by either Nick or myself (hopefully both) and friends and family all present. There are so many wonderful people to thank for all their kindness and who want to see it and I have to say a huge thank you to Nick for all his organisation. 'Little Dobby' has a lot to do over the years. Oli's dream will go on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
