Hi all!
Joined the forum because I'm now able to (at last!) start work on my faithful mini. I have a 1987 Park Lane. My first car and she has been patiently awaiting restoration for the last 20 years in a dark, damp rented council garage. It's going to be a complete strip down and rebuild and I can't wait to get stuck in!

I also have a 1978 Clubman Estate. This one is a much more recent addition. She needs a little work but nowhere near as much as the PL. Both have seized engines so I guess I'll start there. Maybe not essential for the PL as everything is coming out, but at the moment would make things loads easier to have it running to shift it around.

Looking forward to getting going on them both and sure you'll see me popping up on here with lots of questions!

Cheers
Giles

Hi Gilo, sounds like a good project, have you any updates?

We also have a Park Lane, will you be looking to keep it original or customise? If you have any parts for sale please message me as we may be interested. 

Thanks, Matt
