Hi everyone i have finally got my first mini and am really looking forward to getting her looking amazing with a bit of hard work, I found this beauty for sale in restaurant window 2 lady owners from new and only 12,000 genuine miles on the clock and hardly any rust! Literally been in a garage for last 10 year's....I have always wanted a mini and after taking her for a test drive i can honestly say it was the most fun I have had driving a car in the last 13 years I have been on the road!
Anyway I am looking forward to learning lots of new tips, tricks and methods of customising and getting my mini up too scratch. Q

looks a lovely little thing!

 

id be tempted to keep her standard!

[brucepanther]

Yeah I could definitely see the appeal in keeping her original, but being my first I really want to impart my personality into this project.

If you have to customise ( ) keep all the old grey bumpers and trim and stuff. Someone will buy it. Just bear in mind for every pound you spend on mods, you're probably also taking a quid off the value of it if you were ever to sell on...

Hi I've been driving my 1982 mg
Metro 1275 gt engine mini city around Durham for 4 months now and love it! Everything is sound on the mini but currently working on the dashboard and interior as the former owner made a lot of it himself and let's just say it's not pretty, but it's a little project and I love the car to bits!!

[LeonEveritt]

I have just acquired my first mini. Its a rolling project for me, something i have been wanting to do for years. The Mini is a 93 Mini Rio, it looks pretty tidy but there are many little bits and bobs i need to do to her.

This is not the for sale section

[adihaworth]

Just bought a lovely 1972 1275GT. Had a Mini 1000 as my first car at 18 and I've wanted another Mini every since. I'll never ever sell this car! Also never been on a forum before!!

Recently got an '89 City with 998 Metro engine.  Seems to have had plenty of steel panels replaced and a few nice bits and I am working my way through to get everything screwed together right.  Plan is to aim for a subtly modified run around, inspired by the '60s Monte cars but no 'works replica'.

I own both a 1982 van with a metro engine coversion and a 1988 red hot both are perfect and used daily
