hi guys and girls

im adam im a massive mini fan i dont drive at the moment as ive spent so much money fixing up minis that ive never had enough left to pass my test im fixing up a mini 30 in red at the moment ive added afew extras like electric windows and reversing cameras (i go made for gadgets and little extras) and im hoping to be on the road in the near future my girlfriend also drives a mini. she drives a mini sidewalk in kingfisher blue

my mum was also a massive mini collector she had 4 minis in total

a mini italian job in red
a mini copper in green
a mini 25 and
a mini hl auto (very old skool)

she passed away a month ago from cancer :unsure: and she was nice enough to leave her collection to me so i maybe spending sometime on her to find out the quick and easy way to fix up her collection and get them all back on the road and to carry on her memory

(my profit picture shows some of the minis me and her worked on when she was still around)

I have 2 mini's.
A 1984 Mini City in Burgundy original condition but rusting in a few places and a 1987 City in Blue with minilites which my son is driving around at the moment.
Had the 84 Mini for nearly 3 years and the 87 for 2. They both need some refurb work but both get through MOT with minimal problems.

In the garage I have a 1991 Rover Cooper, undergoing some intensive panelwork, with the intention of getting her upto showroom condition, and just recently bought a Rover Tahiti, thats been trying to pass itself off as a Cooper. As this one's a goer, I'll be using this as my run around, until the Cooper is roadworthy, then it'll be in the garage with the Tahiti for the next round of tin worm wars.

<--- my first car - '88 mini mayfair 998cc
needed a bit of tidying up on the interior (door cards, radio, parcel shelf, could do with a new carpet)
my plans - tex mirrors, new grille with no gap and an interior bonnet release.
- woodern dash and magnolia dial set
- upgrade the stereo and speakers (maybe install an amp)
