Evening folks.

On with a mini 1275 that I ended up with by chance really. By that I mean my ex decided she wanted a mini so I found her a project, after 3 hours she didnt like minis or hardwork anymore.... 'ex' being the fundamental part of that.
ANYWAY, I purchased said mini from her for what she paid for it, and from then on its sat in a corner down at the mancave.

About a month ago I decided to set on with a few jobs...

It's been NEARLY fully welded up (Just one more inner sill to replace and a small spot near the rear wheel arch.)

My camera sucks! As do I at taking pictures.....

Hoping over the next week to get the other sill finished, new front shocks fitted, ride height set level, arches ordered and fitted..

Shall then clear all the inside out, remove windows etc... and start spraying the inside of the car, give the roll cage a change of colour and fitting it.

Still not set on what colour to spray the car, I shall be doing it here with 2pk paint... Thought something like a DEEP blood red as I sprayed a car a few weeks back in a similar colour and it got me thinking.

When I finally finish it off, sadly, it will go straight up for sale as I'm eager to crack on with 'Mike' - my Mini with a bike engine!

Thanks for looking, all comments are welcome!!!

Wrong sections dude projects live in here http://www.theminifo...-mini-rebuilds/

Although I could lose myself in that unit looking at all the landy bits.

Good looking project though.
