Hello all,

Having just bought my first ever mini i thought it wise to join a group of experts as i believe over the next few month i will be needing lots of advice to my questions...!

The mini i just purchased is a 1991 cooper with a metro 1.3 engine (not original).

Drove it back to essex this eve and realised how much fun they are, so this mini needs a bit of tlc but will be a beauty when complete.

advice and tips welcomed.

Looks very nice

Can I ask:
1. Can we see some pictures of the engine?
2. What bucket seats are they?

Thanks buddy

Cool; they look lovely, would love to know exactly what they are. Any chance of asking the previous owner?

Cheers,

Simon.

yes will do, will get some better pics too, i was going to remove them and put leather recliners in, but they do look and hold you well.

Ah, well, if you're planning on removing them, I'll shotgun them right away!

Looking for pictures though
