hi all, today was the day of the big move, we decided to drive cn onto the back of the truck and he managed it fine



strapped him down so he doesn't fall off



i took this photo through the rear window of the truck cab...we were doing 60mph at this point



and here he is sat in the paint shop waiting his turn (sorry for the dull picture, my iPhone doesn't have a flash )



today was also my 17th birthday and my mom made me the best cake ever it even has the the correct registration



i also got a few parts for cn too:

- a pair of stainless steel bumpers
- a pair of rear bin chrome trims
- new light seals
- a pair of check arm seals
- a new deluxe red carpet set
- new front and rear window seals + chrome locking strips
- a satnav
- and driving lessons

all in all a good day

comments welcome

Happy Birthday Mate!

I'm in the middle of my GCSE's now :/ Probably should be revising. I'm going to see a 1994 Mini 35. I dont think its the Cooper edition, it has the 1275cc engine. Can't wait. It does only have one seat at the moment lol. Should be a interesting test drive!

I dont know weather to restore to its "former" glory or make it my own. At the moment im heading towards making it my own!

cheers bud, imo i would restore to former glory but only if most if not all of the LE parts are present but it'll be your car so do what you wish word of advice, don't be scared by first appearances but don't impulse buy...take your time to way up if it is viable to restore or not.................if i'm honest, cn probably wasn't the best example we looked at but i thought with my heart and here i am but i wouldn't change a thing

lol. Its just what I'm looking for really and solid sills. Only one i've seen with solid sills and sub-frames! Problem with restoring it to original condition is the 35 was a fairly sh*t special edition anyway. Alloys where an option. Other than the bonnet badge and the paint/stickers. I dont think any of the parts are LE stuff. Different wheels, Different steering wheel. Lack of interior

Cant wait to see "Cliff-Nigel" Painted. I've been following your thread for a while. Kinda what made me get to work looking for a car!
