[mine's 10" what's yours?]

hiya,
woo hoooooo 10 mins on the pooter & i find this site, looks like all my non perverted dreams have come true, lol. Don't you just love it when the last bolt snaps as you're removing a rear subframe ?

Welcome to the site.

Do you have a nice big pic of your mini for us all?

And a little description.

welcome! I swear minis do things like that just to spite!

[mine's 10" what's yours?]

my mini, mmmmm where do i start? it's a B reg mini mayfair that i've been pottering about with for the past 2 years, it hasn't took 2 years to do it, i just do a bit now and again, first thing i did was strip it, lol, all the interior has gone, rooflining, carpets, rear/passenger seats have gone, thats the easy bit as ya know!
next was a full roll cage, 10" alloys, lowered, bucket seat (1 of) & i even bought a complete low mileage metro 4 the 1275 lump, which sounds a treat with just the 1 silencer! I've resprayed it lovely leary lime green and then i had a flash of inspiration and painted the revo's bright red, (nice and tasteful)
It was about 99% finished until i took it 4 a pre-mot and the nice man said "u're avein a larf if ya fink i'll pass this subframe" so the job i should have done first is now being done last.
It's taken me this long because i've done all the work myself, welding, engine, roll cage, respray etc. i wouldn't have it any other way as now i have the fond memories of welding sparks in my ears, raw knuckles and my favourite bit, glass splinters in my hands from when i threw a wobbler after cracking the windscreen whilst trying to fit it with hard rubber, lol.
Because i've done all the work myself, i know it's never going to be a concours winner, what i do know is when it's on the road i'm gonna give it a right good thrapesing wherever i go.
I'll try & find an up 2 date pic and if my PC know how allows me, i'll have a go at posting it.
PS. my avatar is of my old van that i did a few years ago

It's much more satisfying doing it yourself, eh! That's what me and lots of peeps on here seem to do or want to do!

Go talk to Ade about lary paint jobs!
