Some pics of my mini after being treated how it should be (after being dumped for 2 years on a drive)

Still think a bargin for 180quid running fine ...........

Needs new sill and rear wheel arch and thats it, has some ice already in it when i brought it, replaced wires and got it working , 2 sony 6x9's under the rear seats and a sony head unit under dash.

Great sunroof also cant wait to be driving this around in summer

At least its tyres have been replace (original had been slashed)





Nothin like a limted edition-


Cleaned alot (was originaly covered in mold and mud)



Work is taking place with some filling (soon be done today or tommorow)


It can read the paper!

Don't look to bad for 180quid,

But I do hope that the filler isn't being put directly over the top of rust patches.

Why thank you. Got the sills and arche in my bedroom under my bed lol, being put on in about 2weeks while im on holiday

Before then im getting new grill mirrors and carpets possibly.Thought about internal bonnet release. whote/clear bonnet stripes. A custom made sticker for rear window sayin 'Bondbill's mini adventure'

Oh and new arches, any ideas what else should get? Your the experts

I agree, tak eyour time with it, and it'll pay off in the end...

Cooper grille
chrome mirrors
I like the grp2 arches, rather than standard spats !!
oh and clear front and rear lenses look ace on a black mini

Hello and Welcome!

Carpets possibly? Huddersfield do this for £28 including underlay. Its all pre-cut so all you need to do is stick them in. Really tidys up the car. Believe me it works.

[Bondbill2k2]

um not sure as i could clean these up not too bad, the car smells a lil of smoke still as previous owners were smokers of course. The head lining hasnt liked this either and is slightly yellow. I read a nail brush and shaving cream is good to clean up this?

I'll keep an eye out as we speak for a good priced cooper grille.

Try minispares for a carpet set and forget about the proper underlay kits,
as i've found somthing much better, which is to take a trip down to the local B&Q to get hold of some grey Traditional carpet under lay (½” thick) that’s about £25 a roll that's more than enough to do the interior of a mini.

And I’ve done behind the dash (two layers) front floor and wheel arches, rear floor, behind the rear seat, under the rear seat areas (behind the speaker board), a round circle for the spare to sit on, the sides of the boot and finally the spaces in the boot lid.

Just need to get another roll so I can do the roof once the new headlining goes in.

by the way

Were abouts are you in the west midlands? as i'm sure i've seen that mini somewere before

tell tell

Just have, but had to look for what I had already put in a past post as I can't be bothered to type something out twice.

[Holly]

i did that in my mini

[1984mini25]

Just works out better value for money, especially as (why me) my under felt kit had bits missing and didn’t fit as well as I would of liked.

Nice bargain! ....


.....not sure about your taste in shirts though!
