[Mini Steve]

rite!!i have been lookin for a red hot so i can match my jet black and it together an hav replicas of each other in reverse colors!!so this would mean roll cages, harnesses, buckets etc. all the same!!

well i hav found a mini for sale with a black roll cage in!!this would be ideal as i want a black cage in the red hot to keep the color schemes!!

now!!!
do i 1. Buy the random black mini and spray it to be a "Red Hot" with new decals??

or

2. Keep looking out for a real Red Hot and put my own cage in it?? an start from scratch!

I think it depends on how much you want a real Red Hot :erm:

Do you want a Red Hot or would you be happy with a replica?

I say wait.

[Bungle]

the real thing would be better

[Teapot]

Nothing less than the real thing will do, ol' buddy. After all, you're aiming for the pair, right? Well, if one's a "fake", it spoils the whole thing. Patience! You've still got one fine mini to work on :tongue:

if you have been looking for a red hot for a while you shound't just stop looking it took me an age to fine my swift engine about 8 months so i say keep looking it will mean so much more to you if you get a real red hot

Fine as long as you have the patience, they only made 1000 of them, and a lot of rust can grow in 17 years.....
Good luck with it mate sounds a cracking idea

[miniman5]

i would get one and spray it prep it your self itle only cost about £300

[Pooky]

Yes miniman5 or you could go and by a 1985 city, pull the arches off, spray it almond green and put a mk1 grille on and call it a 1960's cooper s.

You're plan is good mate but i think most of us wouldn't be happy without a 'real' red hot.

Although you do get a lot of general cooper look-a-likes a think with a jet black/red hot thing, you'd need a real red hot.

id personnaly wait

[Dom]

id save the money

[Mini Steve]

well the 1 i had originally sourced was £1200 an for that money id be close to a real!!

i think yeah wait an get a real 1!!

they should look cracking at shows together and i do need to finish mine first!!

cheers for opinions though an if u no of 1 then please let me no :grin:

[Prawn]

lookin at your profile steve, your only 17....

so unless your disgustingly rich, have you thought about just how much its going to cost you?

you have a mint mini now, but im sure theres still stuff you can buy for it/needs doing to it!

ive spent over 6k on mine, and i can think of £500's worth of stuff i need for it STRAIGHT away!

id rather have one MINT mini than a pair of colour coded average minis....

invest the cash into your current mini mate! itll be better in teh long run

you dont need another not just yet
