Ok, I bit the bullet and bought another mini

Shes a 1987 Advantage with a 998 engine.

What else to say? hmmm

I havnt got plans as such, just a few ideas:

Black bonnet and roof
MK1 bonnet (c/f maybe)
No chrome! just black accessories, door handles etc
Miglia arches
12x7 wheels (or wider)
Nice simple interior, black clubman classics, and a nice c/f dash
(edit)
Engine, im thinking big.. really big!!
1293 (might be bigger) and it may have some sort of fored induction, depends on money etc
If I can get hold of a 1275 for the correct money then I will through that in.
But, to be fair the engine that is in the car, is very strong and is a screamer!


Theres a few little rust patches, drivers foot well where the flitch meets the floor, same on the passengers side.
and a few little areas on the outside, all of them will be sorted a s a p!

aaaaaaaanyway, im sure you would rather see some pictures the read what I have to say lol
