Hi Frizzle,
Great to see that you are back on the Minx.
I wonder if I might ask you a question. It concerns the spare Minx you got as a donor.
What were the door handles and trunk hinges like? Mine are in a dreadful state and will let down the rest of the car once finished. I am happy that they are used, but if in reasonable condition,would you consider selling them? Accounting for postage and all that, how much would you take for them?

Kind regards
Jeff in England

That thing is sweet, one of the most interesting and complex builds on the forum. I watched the video and when I saw you blasting around those wet narrow streets my first thought was I hope he doesn't wreck that beauty, LOL.
