This is my first mini, its going to be a little project for me and my dad. bought it for £1350 knowing that it needs a little work done to it. its going to need 2x a panels, 2x front wings and a front pannel. also i want to mod the engine a bit not quite sure what im going to do to it, mabey 1380... as for the out side im going to possibly get a respray (still in red) just to tidy it up, i want to put some sportspack arches and either sportspack wheels or ultralites 13x7 but not to sure yet. i will keep you updated on whats going on...

here are some pics of the beast











And some of the rust

Once u put the sportspack wheels and arches on it will look just like mine (minus the spotlamps)

yeah... i had sound effects in my head with every picture (lack of sleep causing halucinations)
it went

Pic 1 "mm"

Pic 2 "mmmm"

Pic 3 "aaaaaaa"

Pic 4 "oooooooooooo""

Pic 5 "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"

Pic 6 "DOH"

Pic 7 "DOH"

Pic 8 "DOH"

Pic 9 "DOHHHHHH!!!!!"

brings back nasty memories of stripping out the convertible.Mine's got more rust than that though, good luck with it!! It's well worth the effort when you get it finished and know that you have kept the tin worm at bay for a while longer.... and that the car won't crumble beneath you!!!
