Hey, I got a mini in November after a bus wrote off my MK3 Feista (first car) doin 60mph. It trashed 3 cars n put me and another lady in hospital. But it was a blessing in disguise really!!!! It was the perfect excuse i'd been looking for to buy a mini.

I've got a 998cc 1988 Mary Quant in black (not yet seen a white). I bought it completely standard.
Mods so far with limited funds are as follows:

INTERIOR:
*Set of 4 black door cards
*Chrome handle set inc handbrake grip
*Chrome gear knob and black gear gaitor
*12" Mountney steering wheel (same one EVERYONE has lol)
*Chrome 'race' pedals :lol:
*Centre Console w/ custom holes for voltmeter and push button start
*Sony head unit mounted in centre console also
*Mutant 6x9's mounted in (home made) under-seat speaker panel

EXTERIOR:
(Just starting exterior now. Finally!!!)
*Angel eye headlights
*Clear side repeaters and front indicators
*Chrome washer jets (twin jet)
*Removed overiders as they were badly rusted

UNDER BONNET:

Just things to get it running better. I've basically replaced:

*Carb + another float chamber after that (probs with needle valve)
*HT Leads
*Coil
*Condenser, Rotor arm, Points and Cap

INEVITABLE ADDITIONS:

*Alloys (hopefully today or tomorrow!!!)
*Brake conversion (4 pot, servo assist etc etc)
*Stage 1 kit
*Another classic mini for project sometime. Don't want to put roll cage, buckets etc in a quant. I love the seats too much :cry:

WISH LIST:

*Z Cars bike engined mini!!!!!!

My mini is a very hard working Equinox, her name is Maddi, she's 9 years old and her hobbies are rolling in the mud when I'm not looking (I swear she must do!), getting lost in mini convoys, entertaining children with her eyelashes and breaking down on motorways.

A racing green '89/G with the 2 stripes 998cc. I have had it about 10 days and i love it. So far i have just replaced the original dash with a new walnut one and bought a console also in walnut. Most modifications will just be cosmetic.
The last user had a cd player with new in door speakers and speakers on the "parcel shelf". Most changes have been repairing it to make it road worthy. ;D
