British open Mini
Picked this up off Jim there last Friday. Sweet little motor, and the open top for the weather we're having lately is the job! Just gave her a good clean on Sunday and only got around to taking some photos today!
As per Mini rules it must rust! There are some bubbles starting up the front... Wings, scuttle, a panels and front panel... Going to try and get them sorted asap. The manifold is also blowing so I'm going to just get a stage 1 kit. Other then that its just a clean up, the interior itself is very clean just a good scrub wouldn't do any harm so I hope to wet and vac it in the next few days.

Re: Irish open Mini
Got new pressed steel plates... Didn't really like the plastic look on the old ones, not much of a difference in the pictures but it is noticable!
This sticker will soon be replaced

She made it to her first event yesterday. All the way up to Lisburn, N.I and back with no hassle. Very proud of her so I'm going out to give her a good clean now!
