nice looking mini!! I also have a Park Lane your interior looks in better nick than mine though..the black stripes have come off on the front and back seats :'( hope all is going well :)

[a_woolhouse]

Thanks! :) needs a respray and a new front end as its started going rust but you get the general idea

there hard to come by, looks a tidy little thing in your profile pic, yeah the black vinyls coming off the drivers seat at the bottom and its already come off at the top :/ got stick it back on but the seats need re padding first

[a_woolhouse]

Just a quick update bought a few bits and pieces from bingley for him

First off a new steering wheel Astrali if i remember rightly :) :



Faught with it to get it to go on last saturday before i went off to work, new centre cap came as well thanks to roofless, looks pretty cool, also got some heater and switch facias made up (again by roofless), but not going to put them on until the weathers a bit better want them to stick properly :







Also bought a new gear knob, nothing special just a black 8ball to match the black and gold theme i'm going for:



& someone took a cheeky photo of purcey while i was inside bingley hall, not that i mind :



Thinking of getting some show plates done, dont know what peoples thoughts are just had a play around came up with these :

Yeah, mine has a bit of bubble on the front right wing :/ yeah haha

Indeed, according to How Many Left, there are 60 licensed and 101 SORN...rare car!

I'm going to buy a bit of vinyl and stick it on I think...Got seat covers on the front in the mean time :) Loving your Park Lane centre caps..I want some! and I really like the switch panel..oh and I have a magic 8 ball gear knob

Email roofless think he's got a few made up or can make u one :) asked him at bingley to knock one up and that's what he came up with. sounds good dnt like the idea of seat covers to be honest but each to there own, I've got 2 because eBay made a mess of my order so trying flog one at the mo to be fair they look pretty cool :) yeah I noticed there's only 60 on the road will just have be extra careful with them not putting sportspacks on it now think it'll look better with w&ps :)

Just a quick update: couple of weeks ago decided to buy a review mirror, think they look better than the originals, so got stuck in cleaning the yaris corsa and finally the mini and swapped the mirrors over just a few photos to show how he's looking at the mo :




oh and he had a very soapy wash wax and polish :

Just a quick update on progress, a few weeks ago decided to take my park lane seats out so they could be refoamed so ended up putting these in as donor seats park lane seats are now fully repadded and back in him though





Also went to Gawsworth hall classic car show on monday so spent all of sunday getting him looking spot on, touched him up with a bit of paint & gave the exhaust a damn good clean and ended up with this :)




Then had him up on the ramps to find out why he rattled, its nothing major just the joints on the front and the exhaust needs re adjusting :)



& finally pulled the mini's 'n' oatcakes sticker off the back window, think he looks a lot better without it

Much better!  (I think they look crap to be honest  )

  haha i agree they make you car look tacky, I now know what you meant when you said you were a bit of a kill joy when it came to the m n o stickers ,  given the choice i'd take the blue parking permit out of the front window, but its for work 

[a_woolhouse]

just a small update, minis entered into the mini cooper & classic car show next weekend can only make the sunday unfortunately so spent today when i'd finished work tidying it up a little and making some changes heres how it looks now  

 

[a_woolhouse]

No major updates really just a quick one 

 

went to tatton park a couple of weeks ago, borrowed my dads bumpers complete with over riders until his is back on the road & i can afford and over rider kit & got snapped on my way in

 

 

& turned 21 just over a week ago and was promised a new set of wheels with yokohama tyres on not really had chance to get many photos but managed get this one this morning at work before we opened  

 

 

Also a mate from work had a set of show plates with ''PURCEY'' written on them for me for my 21st again no photos unfortunately  

 

& finally someone bought me a new set of number plates for him (as seen on the 2nd pic above )
