That's good to hear, that colour looks very unique and it'll suit the car perfectly.

Cool book, where did you get it from and is it really useful? Seems like a good book to have in a mini resource collection.

It'll definitely take time, biggest job on a mini is ball joints and wheel bearings on a cooper I had 15 years ago. I get a day off in the week because I work most Saturdays so me and r kid will get stuck in
