More pictures to show the back panel, boot, side panel and bonnet….
Hello Ben it’s dad here . Missing you more than ever at the mo, just need your positive attitude and your cheeky smile .
Can’t believe next year it will be 10 years.
Your mini has won London to Brighton twice now . And we have driven it in the rain lol ( something you never did )
Mum still puts flowers for you every year at stone road .
I’ve replaced you at scouts been a leader since you died..Still can’t ride a unicycle or even fit in a Spider-Man outfit .
Sam has met a fantastic guy called Ben and is going to marry him ,he also likes rum.
You would have got on with him so well .
This will make you laugh I’ve got my own laptop and am doing zoom meetings also using WhatsApp and email.
I know I can’t believe it either.
How times change !
One thing that will never change is how much I miss you and how proud of you i am .
So enjoy yourself with the angles up there and one day will will be together again .
Love you son xxx
You should see your mini now Ben, the shell is fully restored and resprayed bright red with white roof just how you wanted it, the white stripes you wanted on bonnet will finish it off lovely. Hopefully will have it back on the road by the end of the year 😉
