Sounds gorgeous mate. Now the restraint of the running in period awaits .

Hey,

Im thinking of fitting those same ultralights myself, did you have to trim the arches at all? I love how they look on your car, really matches the red!

Any updates?

Much better with the 1293 in my opinion! Gorgeous car! So pristine and well restored!

How's the engine running Lund?

Back to the top since the hack! I want a update on this one, cracking build!

Hi, I have read this thread a few times on other websites.
I'm sure you've heard it before, but I have to say I love your mini, an absolute favourite. The way it sits is fantastic.
A real classic, well done.

Still waiting an update on this one...

Hello TMF, long time no speak. I still have the mini, however for the last 3-4 years or so she has been SORN. Dry stored in a car port, I'll put her back on the road again one day. Bodywork is still looking in fair condition, but does need attention. I haven't turned her over in a few years though, but the engine is only less than 5000 miles old remember!

 

Feeling a little guilty, but she'll get the attention she deserves one day.

 

Edit: Can't believe it's been almost 10 years. First pulled the mini out the garage when I was 15, I'm knocking on 25 now.

 

Cheers, Tom

Hey Lund,

 

Just been looking through you thread. Absolutely stunning Mini you have there.

 

Coincidentally, I have a 1983 Mini City E (998cc), which is Cinnabar red. In many ways it looks orange. I have the same ideas as you, in that I'm going for gp2 arches and prob 10x6 wheels. I also have the 'City' stripe decal which will go down the side.

 

Did you find that 10x6's fit on your car (with drum brakes all-round), without the need to cut your arches?

 

Great looking car. Really is a minter!

Nice looking mini love the colour and the city strips. I think I preferred the original interior and no arches I even like the steelies and hubcaps but would do to all the same would it!. Keep up the good work.

I had one of these Lund, W reg. Love the City model with the side stripes !  Even though I like original spec, it is great to see the pics. Thanks for sharing.
