I bought it about 6 mths ago off of ebay for a £150 which i didn't think was bad as it was a 1997 equinox less the engine and my plans was to strip it and rebuild it. I've had minis in the past the last one being a mini tahiti turbo which never got completed due to lack of funds and desciding to buy a yamaha R6 but like many the bug bit me again and i was desparate to get another one.
When i got home i started stripping it down and to my amazement it needed alot more bodywork than i thought to say it was only 10 years old i knew it needed the usual stuff like wings etc but nothing like flitch panels but hey ho thats why it was cheap. My intention is to make it into a very fast road/track car. Here are some pics what i've done so far
