Seen a JMC mini last year on osbmxlife that'd been bastardised in similar fashion.
If memory serves me right :
"You know who'' sold it to some dude in Oz who upon receiving it questioned ''you know who'' about the state of the frame (think he paid a few hundred quid for it). ''You know who'' then started a thread upon said subject so with the back up of his 'goons' preceded to rip this poor bloke to shreads telling him that what he got was a good deal. Didn't look like it to me.
Fooked his page right off there and then.
Top resto work there mate.
'Groovin' with Mr Bloe... top tunage too.
