I am looking around the Aberdeenshire area and the Morayshire area i even contemplated Banff I need somewhere with a couple of barns so i can carry on with my work restoring old vehicles. I shall be specialising in old Mini's replacing panels painting ETC, i used to do engine work as well but i will wait for my son to go to college to continue to do the body work side then i can get back to engines.

Thank you for your offer of help what i have been trying to find out what is the crime rate ie vehicle crime, vandalism, etc, is like no body will tell me that. i do keep looking at the websites for the Scottish property centres.
at the moment i am restoring a Daimler dart sp250 for a friend whilst building my engine for the Cooper/S the engine has been bored lightened and balanced upto 1340cc full race spec so i will be fitting that hopefully before i move or if not i will have to come back down to my mums house to complete it before driving it up. my other project was my VW camper which is now finished.

...and that answers my next question :D:D after I spotted the silicon hose to the heater :D


Brizee, you'll love the pickup! Mine was the best fun ever!
How wierd would that be if it was the same one...

eventually sold it to a guy over in Alloa I think, part of the Mintax crew...

[bpirie1000]

what sort of Figures are you after There available from local Cop shop and I have some contacts If you tell me what your after I'll sort it for you.....

LnL I know Just hope I fit into the Thing.. 6ft 4 doesn't help when the seat doesn't go back that far. But I'll survive, My Pick up was a Total Basket case when I got it MHS **Y is the Number..

bin mine for around 2 years and still not painted. But Getting there.. Summer 2006 will be the completion...... Fingers Crossed.

Cheers Brian

you can get this info from the local police station near where you are looking or from the headquarters for that area (Grampian Police HQ is Aberdeen, Northern Constabulary is Inverness).

Hope this helps, if not pass me the details and I'll see what I can do..;)
