I got a few minutes this morning so i thought i would start uploading my new project. So the story goes........... one day in a far away land.......only joking. My old man had a few minis on the drive. My girlfriend has started using my car for work (and everything else) because i get a lift to work so i was looking for a new car. So we decided to chop this one up because it was rusted through. Its alot of work (or atleast it is now) as you will see....... This is what it looked like...  And now...  oops...  Ouch...  Doh...  Bit of Rust...  Removed the Logo...  How did that fall over...  Drivers Side Rear Arch...  New Sexy Interior...Cardboard?   A Bit of Repair Work...  I hope these pictures work  i have got more but im supposed to be working so ill upload more soon. Let me know what you think or if you think we are just stupid...... |

I came to your house to see the mini a few months back. On the way home from yours I found a black mini 30 which I have been doing up since. Nice to see you doing a proper job. Good luck.

All that hard graft has resulted in a great looking Mini. Won't be long before you've got a grin like a cheshire cat every time you get behind the wheel. Good luck with the MOT. Should fly through. |
