Hi there,

 

name is Tom , 28 and im an vehicle electrician, my hobby is car restorations. (so far several astra gte, golf 1, skyline r34 and an lancia beta coupe)

 

bought 2 mini 1000 1974 last year and now finally got the time to start and am very exited!!

one in Red and one in Blue.... 1 has a complete engine the other a new chassis derusted and new painted.

 

planing on doing a complete bolt change and thats why i have joined the forum and see what there is to know.

 

First thing on my list is an restoration bolt and nut kit, which should be with me shortly..

next is Interior... going for an classic look in black, nothing to fancy!

 

hope i can learn allot from u guys!! sorry for the spelling mistakes, been abroad since 17 years..

Berner-mini-club hosted the 2011 IMM...
I'm training as a panel beater currently, will hopefully get my own body-shop in a few years.
Could do with an car electrician at some point... 😀

Much better here! Less Genferei! 😉
