Hi all this is my first mini project & my first mini. I bought it about a week ago on ebay for £500 of my longterm savings (worth every penny). I am currently un-employed but for the first stage money is not needed to strip out interior, rotted & dammaged
panels.Have taken some photos of my progress so far so hopfully will be able to upload.

Thanks

Regards

Hi, & thanks for the warm welcome. i dont feel brave( just a bit stupid) but i have wanted a mini for many years & now i finally have one.
The car has been on a farm for 20+ years moved from corner to corner with a dozer, floor pan,boot pan,sills,most of the nearside door frame & door is scrap
but fortunately for me mini bit seem to be widely avalible on ebay or specialist companys.

Also i believe it to be a former lombard rac rally car which further caught my intrest.

Thanks

regards
