Hello!

I'm Olly, 18 and ready to jump into the Mini community! Last august I bought myself a 1995 Mini Sprite in Flame Red for £2000 and while it was a great runner, someone decided to reverse into it within about 3 weeks of me owning it. So it sat in my garage until last week when I thought the weather was nice enough to start fixing it!

Here are some pictures of it both starting to get fixed and when it looked shiny and lovely :D

That was a lovely looking mini, shame about the bump.
Good luck getting it back to it's former glory, it will be worth it I'm sure :)
