Got a 1998 Rover mini cooper sport mpi, well happy

[Adamvtec86]

My Mini: zcars k20 rear engine.

plans are: red leather alfa seats, normal seat belts, and a s**t load of sound proofing (as its my daily driver)

the body kit has been fitted BADLY and theres a big crack in the rear bumper/arch. may just tidy it up or take it off and make it LOOK more standard.

I won't be driving it for a while yet! currently a rolling shell with full roll cage lightened front sub frame and ream beam, adjustable suspension etc. I was an 80's jet black but the previous owner raced it. I am getting started on the plan to make it go fast again and get it on the road but it's just where to make a start......

Hi I do not own a Mini yet but will as soon as I turn 17 next year but I just has a look for insurance and got a quote of 645 for a year third party, fire and theft and the most expensive was 6000! but when I do own a mini it will be 100% original on the outside but not on the inside.

Hello Mini people

 

I'm two weeks into owning my first car and Mini.  

It's a Rover Cooper 1998, two previous owners only 24500 miles on the clock.  

 

Will be pestering people for all their knowledge and tips on keeping it in great condition, sorry in advance.  

 

Will post some pictures soon.
