12 x 6 Deep dish alloys n wide arches.
Custom dash would be nice.
Clear lenses
Gunna chequerplate the boot when its been welded.
Full respray probally in another colour.
PHAT exhaust system for a beefy sound.
Thats about it, i got a cone filter to fit. Its gunna be a long project, i havent got a job atm, and college takes me most of my time, so money is low. I hope to pass this summer, so if i get a job i will be doing the above soon.

Hey your mini looks like its never been driven, my car is younger than that and needed a hell of a lot of work and alot of money, you got a very good car there. Hope the engine is sound too! :wink:
Nice job on the paint!! Dont change the colour just put a check roof on it!!! :grin:

Engine was best part of it, runs sound. Theres a small leak from gearbox area, of oil. I cant be bothered to fix it until somet else in that area needs fixing.
Engine starts 1st time with some choke and runs fine once warmed up.

cheers guys! once its on road, taxed, and i'm insured, i will start getting to mini meets n shows and i'll get a job so i can buy some alloys.
Its ok,it needs some work tho. It needs bottom left ball joint changing (got it, but darent fit it, no tools either), rust on 3 arches, passenger side floor and boot floor.
Its been for its mot once and we was told what needed doing, so hopefully Dads mate can do the welding i hope, so its off for its MOT this month.
I think white wellers would suit it nicely, or some deep dish ultralites.
Anyway, bath time, got college in afew hours.

Stripped seats, carpets and that foamy C**p so arch can be welded. Floors seem ok, except passenger floor pan needs attention and arch to floor join on drivers side. Hopefully dad will get it done and not scrap it!
