When I get beadles finished (big when)
I'll send her down to you for a wax and polish

Is it a coincidence that mini and money start with the same letter? 'cause if you have the first you sure better have lots of the other

Re: Non Project: My Mini
That photo inside the warehouse looks savage. And the new wheels finish of the look.
She's looking well Allan, i'm a tad jealous.

Re: Non Project: My Mini
last june i decided id finally take the car off the road and get everything fixed on her..
dropped her down to albert ad he sorted out all the problems with the wheels, put hi-lo's in it and new discs and lots more which i can't remember anymore!
i then brought her down to my brothers factory and started to tear it apart..it was pretty bad rust wise, but to be honest i thought it would be worse!
the main problems points were obviously the doors, which were both beyond rescue at this stage, bought two doors in good shaoe off albert and put them on..
around the windscreen was particularly bad and looks like the previous owner had fiddled around with it previously as there was a bit of filler around the screen...
below the doors there was a hole and the the sills were wrecked!! the drivers side arch was wrecked too!
so after a little work form my brother, well...alot of work, we got to this stage...
she was then ready for painting...i was thinking about changing the colour, but then decided to stick to the original blue and silver...
After this was all done, we had to put her back together!! and finally she was done!
have a few small niggly part to iron out, but she smore or less finsihed...
have a nice nice set of 7x 13 starmags on order aswell!!

Re: Non Project: My Mini
Looks great Buddy and good to see you have stopped the rot before it is terminal.It is amazing how bad the later MPi rust.Darrens 99 was worse than yours but yours has turned out smashing.Hope to see it out and about soon.
Real Clubmans have a square nose.Seriously.
Re: Non Project: My Mini
Just loving that paint job. Good work well done 
If it isn’t broke then it’s not a Mini
Re: Non Project: My Mini
Looks great mate! Last time I saw it must have been when I was doing the engine on Eimears Mini and you called over so I could see where one of the electrical connections went!
