Hi there, Im Matt and I live in sunny Boston, I drive a 1985 mayfair named Malcolm ( thanks to my gf for calling him that) he's a 998 with a stage one kit, chequer door cards and corbeau classic bucket seats. He's cream with black bonnet stripes
Ive done all the work on him myself as I wanted a project to keep me busy, It most certainly has done that!
Behold a picture of him at stanford hall 2009

Nice looking mini, any drastic changes coming up?
Yeh I just bought myself twin 1 1/4 carbs and a 12g202 head, gona mod the head abit and possibly put 1:5.1 roller rockers on it, but I need some more information before I crack on with that,
I got a pair of doors to go on because the originals are shot, a set of 13" team dynamic alloys that need a refurb before going on and then its a new windscreen because I got a crack in it and group 2 arches with a nice bit of trim I think
So yeh a bit of work to do
Then itll be finished................ yeh right

You plans for the mini sound good
My mini is sat in a garage at the moment, waiting for me to do abit of bodywork and sort a few nick nacks out. In the meantime i bought another car for uni I plan to have the mini back on the road june/july time

No chris mate I dont think I know you, however I do remember seeing a character just like you at the ace some time ago hows it going?
As for the mods i just need a few bits and bobs so I have all the parts I need to fit my twin carbs and 12g202 head, thats next, right after I fit my new windscreen and MOT the lil bugger next month!
Im very much debating a new front panel and wing and a full respray, I dont think itll ever be finished tho haha
Thanks for the comments

Ive also got yet another job to do, Ive got to investigate if I have blown up the fan for my heater, went through a rather deep puddle a few days ago and sucked a lot in as it was on at the time, had wet feet and so did my gf then abit of smoke started to come through the vents, got the main air pipe intake (inside one) off and had a look, it was soaking inside,
No burst hoses or anything thankfully, just going to wiat for it to dry out and hope I havent broken it
OOOPPPPPPS!
