Millers oil are this best oil out there for classics & have the best ...

I brought a few grille badges from this guy I was happy with them and have put this link up if anyone else is looking for them.

Mini special arches and the Wood & Pickett ones look well too Or if you go with 4.5 X 10 alloys the deluxe side trims looks as nice as any arches.

I have not done much on the mini the last 6 months and didn't do 500 miles in it last year the weather was that bad :cry: I plan to take it to a few shows this year :D I have to get it NCT'd too :( I hate that year NCT :evil: I have the mini 11 years now and I found a few new old stock parts on ebay...

Looks like a very nice early original Seven

I had the wheels and tyres on for the test, the rear wheels do protude a little bit.

Next job is to rust proof all the cavity with DINITROL ML.

I say I will keep the black trims, I have a new grille coming for it and its black. The one on it is starting to rust (spider legs), so it time to retire ( put some oil on it and put it away safe) it takes away from the as new look that the mini has. I am going to fit a bonnet lock too, as I would n...

Mini back on the road :D :D :D :D :D :D New NCT today :D the last NCT was in 2000 :shock: only took new brake cylinders, service, and steering boots. The Mini got lots of looks at the NCT. The new alloys & tyres would not fit on the rear so had to fit later 84 on rear drums, and longer wheel stu...
