Hey guys,

New to the forum here. I plan to post some things in the technical sections (mostly questions) so I thought I would introduce myself and my Mini first.

I'm Peter from Australia. Been living in Germany the past 8 years and I am the proud owner of a 1997 Mini Cooper MPI. Its my first ever Mini. I'm currently in the process of restoring it as it was pretty neglected and also had some serious accident damage (which I found out later on).

Heres just a few pics:


When I bought it:

Welcome. Looks like the restoration is going well. I like the choice of the arches. They look better than the standard special arches.

Yes this mini is being given a Second life!


Cheers Vinay-RS, They are the 2,5" wood & pickett arches.
