Hi

 

People call me James and i drive a 1993 998cc Rover mini in Checker White.

 

Bought the car 2 years ago and i havent done a great deal as my knowledge on mechanics isn't great but i'm getting there. So far i've mainly replaced bits that needed replacing such as the bumpers, alterntor, windscreen wiper motors, some of the electrics were dodgy and other small bits and pieces.I have only recently started to add bits which i want such as changing the wheels and adding personal bits. Recently bought a new alternator, engine steady and exhaust kit which all need to go on along with a new carpet and Door panels as im not so keep on the ones i put in when i first got it

 

Any advice would be great, hope to meet you all at some of the shows

 

Heres how i'm getting on before and after

Yeah hopefully! Well I work offshore, so I think just with work commitments, the earliest one I'll get to is the IMM in Ireland next year :(
