Hey all my name is Chris and i love working on minis. All my minis are off the road at the moment as all my attention is on this pickup. My gap year project before uni. I Found it in a farmers barn where it had sat for the last 12 years. He only wanted a good home so £120 quid, quick fiddle with the dizzy later and some new fuel saw me drive it out of the barn! Broke down 100 yards later thou he he.

Its going to be pretty standard body wise but i picked up a metro turbo engine from my mates uncle which hopefully will go in. Its in a bit of a state at the monent, its totally stripped and rolled on its side with half the floor chopped out, fun fun!
How your mini now Al? looks like it needed some work!
