Hi everyone. After some time away from minis I've decided to get one back in my life, after some searching I found this neglected little fella. Plans are to make a nice solid she'll then decide where to go from there. It has been part stripped and part repaired. I picked it up for penny's really and the good thing is it's pretty much complete. Just missing a few things like headlining windscreen alternator coil. Rear subframe is a pile on my garage floor after stripping it lol. Pictures to follow and as always comments criticism and suggestions welcome. Not sure if pics will show as this is first time I'm starting a thread on my iPad. Cheers guy

You can't polish a turd - right - but you can sprinkle it in glitter!

Yep and you can make them fast. I'm planning on starting a club with this called the turd club. Then have stickers made saying "you can't polish a turd but you can make them fast"
