I have a 88 designer that took nearly 3 years to get back on the road.Been running since Feb this year,had a couple of teething problems but nothing to serious.

 

Hoping to get some new rims soon when i save up but other wise totally stadard

 

Got a 94 sprite white with red roof was sprayed like this before I got it, no mods all original apart from a mountney steering wheel, just put on new wings and front panel, waiting for paint on bonnet to dry but should be ready for this weekend, next is some nice wheels then enjoy driving it for a while to save up funds for further work hopefully lots of shiny bits and lights.  :highfive:

 

Also have a 84 auto Mayfair in garage a project yet to start.  :thumbsup:

 

Project yet to start thats a LAUGH!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks! I am having fun with it, although I'm not too happy on how the engine is running.

Morning everyone, I'm Will and I drive a 1990 Rover Mini Studio 2. Few mods including a custom 'Sin City' comic dashboard I made myself and bonnet buckles. Lovely car, running on a 1l carb.

Completed the L2B run without a break down! Haha.

I have a 1984 Mayfair, 1275cc rebuilt metro engine conversion, in dark blue.  Almost finished project and requires interior refurbishment, some body work, paint touch up, and accesories.

Hi, my name is Craig, I'm 24 and have just bought my first Mini. I pick him up next weekend and I cannot wait!!! 

 

He's a 1970 mk3 1000 in dark blue, original and unspoilt! I'm really excited to get stuck in and start the rolling restoration. Depending on finances, I'm going to try and get him back to his full former glory! I'm all about keeping it original. 

 

Photo's will follow shortly!

 

I'm sure I'll be asking loads of questions along that way too, so I look forward to speaking to you all!

 

Craig
