Hi, just picked up my first mini yesterday - abandoned 92 mayfair project. Bought stripped with a few boxes and some dubious welding. Anyone on here local?

Cheers,
Steve

Hi Steve,

I'm not local, but wanted to say hi. Am I guessing right that you like old VW Beetles as well (flat4fanatic)

I hope your Mini project goes well 

 

best wishes Philip

Hi, Welcome to the forum. As far as parts are concerned one of the best things you can do is subscribe and become a TMF+ member. It only costs £5 and entitles you to discounts off various suppliers including 7.5% from MiniSpares. It also supports this forum as well. The next best investment you'll make is to buy a Haynes manual, there's normally plenty on ebay.

Hi I'm fairly local.

 

If you want a club then Central Mini Owners is the biggest local one I think.

 

If your looking for parts, then not too many places round here. Best one within reasonable distance would be Minispares just off the M5 over in the Black Country.

I use Minits at Coleshill,

 

Used them for years and years.

I tried Minispares but determined they were not for me but others on here seem happy with the quality of the parts they supply.
