Hi All,

Just thought id pop on and say hello!

"Short story"

My wife had an old K reg yearssss ago and always wanted another.

So about a month ago while talking to someone i know the topic of a Mini Cooper came up, seeing picutres i thought...oh yeh, she will like this.

£2500 later and we now have this little baby

K reg and in great condition

The owner before the one i brought it off had a bodyshop. He did the bodywork and ended up storing it in the workshop corner for 5 years.

The person i brought it off put a load of parts on it and.....stored it for another 2 after which he needed room so this is where we can in.

It has 78k on the clock sprayed in a BMW red and as you can see has had arches fitted, newer type dash, a few other bits and bobs to boot.

Overall great condition!

Im not 100% sure about half the things this mini should have so learning as we go along.

Plans.

Well its not in the condition you see it now...loads planned and im well into sorting it out.

I will be doing a journal/build thread so keep an eye out.

Cheers!!

Wow - Very nice mini.  Exactly how I envisage what I would like my perfect mini to look like.  Glad you said at the end that its no longer in the condition in the photos as I feeling gutted reading you got that for £2.5k, now only slightly gutted and very envious :wub:

She's gorgeous!! Good luck with the resto, hope it doesn't take to long to get her back to this. Can't beleive you got her for only 2.5k!! Very very jealous. Can't wait to see how it goes on the project, just taken a look at the pictures. :proud:

Hi thanks for the responce

Not knowing how much these are going for when we looked at it  we are was very lucky

The outside is going to stay the same i think, really like it (even though its my wifes!) but we agree which is good.

Ive put up a journal and will update it when i can.

Got lots and lots  of picutres of progress see keep em peeled! 

 

P.s The whole interior will be replace...everything!
