Hi 

 

Finally got my hands on my own mini after searching for a while :highfive:

 

Its a mini jet black which has had a bit of bodywork done to it, pretty much no rot only bubbles on left front wing. Have to switch the engine as she came with two none working one still fitted so i will become a regular name around here haha.

 

having trouble getting the front left hub on so shes still sat in garage with seller :( wait till bank holidays over and get her home.

 

any heres the only pic i got. I need a name!

Going to try and get her to her original condition, all original interior is there aswell was just thinking of modernising the jet black vinyl. Looks like a proper 80s design if that makes sense

I am new to mini ownership - in fact my first mini comes on Monday but i am all for keeping things original - I posted on here earlier so apologies if you have seen this already but I have just found and bought a mint condition 1988 Mini advantage - all completely original and I intend to keep her that way. Oh and she is called Freda.

 

Good luck with your little Jet Black

 

Sarah

Congrats on your purchase  :D  Which vinyl do you mean? The seats should be black velour fabric with red trim and red seatbelts.
