Hi Again

 

I introduced myself back in 2017 when I was excited to pick up my first project. As you can see from the dates its been a while! I've been doing bits and pieces when I visit my parents but finally i'm making a proper start!

Luckily my fiancée is the best and lets me clean inside the house rather than the freezing garage!

The shell is now mostly stripped apart from the rear subframe and master cylinder, and i've been cleaning lot of bits and pieces and brackets along the way

 

Hopefully more regular updates from now on!

 

Many thanks

Are you keeping it automatic and restoring your Mini to standard spec?

 

If so you may also find this forum in link below for Mini Autos useful:-

Thanks mab01uk, funnily enough I actually happened to stumble across that yesterday! it looks like it will be very useful.

 

I am going to keep it automatic and go pretty close to standard spec but with a few minor upgrades, such as brakes, just to make it a bit easier to live with!
