hey guys, I bought my mini for 1300 pound around about 6 months ago, i wasnt ready to start my mini at the time but i fell in love with her, she is called marlee, dont ask why i dont know either! ;) my plan is to go for a petrol blue as its my favourite colour, i also want to have a white roof and get rid of the sunroof as i dont like it and it leaks like hell, origanally i was going to change the engine but i decided agaist it when my mum took it out on the road and i heared how sweet she was, im also going to go very retro inside and make it look mint, im also going to take some components from the mk 2 and put them on mine such as the back lights and have the spot light(reverse light) ect and to finish the front end off i want a black grille and 4 big spot lights, here are the pics of here now, hope you like :)

This sunday 13/1/2013, i decided to attack the dashboard and towbar, i found the dash very easy but the towbar was a two man job so i decided my friend the angle grinder could come out and remove the bolts :)




towbar is for sale pm if interested :)
