Hi,

I'm completely new to the mini scene, I've always loved the look of classic minis, and can't get enough of watching mini racing, but up until now I hadn't owned one. I did have a renault 5 gt turbo, which me and my dad restored, but the insurance was going to cripple me (I'm 19). So in the search to find something that would be fun to drive and work on, a mini was the obvious choice...so I finally bought one. It's a 93' Sprite in White, which needs some welding before it's ready for the road but hopefully me and my dad can get this done in the next couple of weeks.

In the mean time I have to sell my other two cars, a 96' peugeot 306 and the renault; anyone interested? Haha.

Cheers.

Thanks for the replys guys, it's a good photo, but there is quite a lot of work to do before I can get it on the road. Needs welding to the sills and a new rear subframe, but I've just bought all the new parts so hopefully it won't be to long before I'm driving it around. Need juggle work on the mini with work on my renault, although that is going for it's MOT on thursday...oh the nerves haha
