I'm getting a new mini tomorrow.

I haven't been on here for a few years, but, since selling my last mini due too financial reasons after a few cars I'm back with a mini. Well hopefully when I get it in the garage In the coming weeks.

Last mini






1340cc mg metro engine, tuned etc etc. bucket seats every suspension mod, awesome car, sad I had to sell it.

In the mean time I've had these



The car driven by VBH in original top gear

Bout this for £175 which needed a few things, including clutch, front cross member, cv joints, welding etc etc
From this



To




Last September I bought this mx5 for £200



Pretty much a shell with engine, so I proceeded to remove all the rust and weld in new metal which left me with this after being painted with a roller





Which I sold last night. Tomorrow I hoe to pick up this mini. It is completely solid, al welding done, 98% complete more than enough for an MOT.

MY NEW PROJECT









What are your thoughts?

Yeah it's got a 1275cc the previous owner has the original 998 too which he said I could have or if I need any bits off it to get the 1275 running I'm welcome to it.

Just been to pick up the V5 and a few of the boxes of bits.

Never attempted a project on this scale before. All the hard work has been done so it should be just like a giant meccano set (I hope)

Right then, I'm collecting this tonight and taking it to its new home. My mate has come to the rescue with his covered trailer, top lad!

 

Will post up a few picks later when its in its new home.
