[spud1979]

hi and im new to the forum. i currently have 2 minis in my shed. a 1979 clubman estate and an 1987 austin mini. the 1987 is a completed job at this stage. i only purchased the clubman and it needs a bit of cosmetic work, mainly inside, outside seems solid. going to put a stage 1 kit onto it too for an extra bit of power. i live in ireland and am part of the irish mini owners club. i love mini runs. i keep pictures of mini events i attend on facebook, i have attached the link if ye would lke to see
