I've got an 89 flame, with the standard 998 in it.

Modifications would include a bit off roof remodelling, done by the local kids with a one off paint job done by the local Scottish artist G Raffiti.

Plans include fixing the above and a few engine improvements but not yet sure to what degree.

Hi Ya'll. I've got 4 minis at he moment. The one that i drive is my unintentional "Rat look" mini, in other words it's rusty got different coloured panels and is generally a pile of poo! It's only to get me by untill I have finished building my turbo mini. Anyway here are some specs of my daily driver:

Silver 998 City
White metal flip front
1100 special rose metalic bonnet
No grill (it fell off, havn't got round to refitting it)
Black and silver chequered roof
Poly bushes all round
Rear camber brackets
Front camber arms
Maniflow LCB
Play mini exhaust
Recaro drivers seat
Spax front
Kyb rear
EBC green stuff pads
Braided brake pipes
Most of the interior stripped out
Alloy door handles

Here is the intended spec for my turbo, hopefully

Completely stripped interior
Full roll cage
Standard metro turbo motor (for the time being!)
Full adjustable suspention (ie: camber, caster)
Spax front coilovers
Gaz rear coilovers
Twin cooper S tanks
Carbon fibre flip front
Carbon boot floor
Carbon boot
Maybe carbon doors
Poly bushes all round
And a few other speshul bits

Also, after the turbo is built I'm going to build a Subaru 1.8 non turbo, 4 wheel drive space framed mini! I've got all the bits allready, just need to get the turbo one done first.

and last but not least me and my dad have a 1968 850cc with hydrolastic susp which we are going to sort out somewhen.
I think that's all of them, just got rid of 3 minis recently, might be getting another one soon aswell
