Hi!

 

We have a 1972 Mk3 mini 1000cc.  Project for mum and 16 y/o son who are completely new to all of this.   

looking forward to learning lots and having a bit of fun!

Hi welcome to the forum. Plenty of excellent advice and helpful hints on here. Just ask any question regarding Minis and you will get an answer on here.

 

If your are going to be buying parts for the new project I would suggest for the vast sum of £5 you become a TMF + member of the forum and this will get you a 7 1/2% discount on anything purchased from Minispare.

 

Have fun working on the project.

Nice wee project..

Just in time for a Christmas list to be ordered from santa..

Good planning.. saves 16yo sitting g on computers or down the park where you have no,idea what they are up to.


Nice trip to halfords needed.. see if you can get a trade card... saves a fortune on good quality tools with a good guarantee..

Thanks everyone.  I’m sure we will be regular visitors to TMF

 

Particularly appreciate the tips on discounts.  Every penny will count on this one, it will be worth it!
