Hi there
I'm Dominic, 18, and from the hull area. I'm relatively new to all this forum stuff but have loved minis since i can remember.
I have a 1974 mini 1000 in tundra green almost complete from restoration and i have a 1973 mini clubman with mg metro engine fitted waiting for restoration.
The 1000 has had a long drawn out resto done due to lack of money really and short of time. It was started of march 06 after i got it for my birthday. All rust has been replaced and got rid of and its as solid as can be. its got a rally theme to it and when complete should look the dog *man danglies*. It currently has: just been painted with a cage fitted, stripped out interior, fuel and brake lines running inside car, battery lead inside car, nice switch console (not over the top, just the bare essentials in a simple alloy plate), de-bumpered front and rear, mk1 grill (no mustache surround!), etc. When completed it will have: 10x6 weller steels, group 2 arches, spot lights, fiberglass doors and corbeau fonza buckets.
The clubman is going to go down the similar kinda road as a fast road rally car. It will have a big beefy engine and the stripped out rally look. Its currently tucked up in the corner of our workshop looking a bit sorry for its poor self with fair bit of rust knocking about and has received a slight rear shunt in its previous life.
Hopefully the mini 1000 will be finished in the early new year and i will look forwards to seeing all of you at the 50th celebrations.

Hope you like my minis

All the best, Dominic

since my first post about my mini's, i have sold the clubman due to last of funds. so now i am just left with my old trusty 1000.

heres a picture of here at present

Not far from finishing the mini 1000 now! got a few more bits and bobs to do like bleed brakes, fit door windows, wing mirrors, MOT it.
Cant wait. heres some pics

Hi everyone...

I drive a 1993 Italian Job, just back from his MOT today. Failed on emissions yesterday but a little tune up sorted that out. Running really well now.
Just starting a whole renovation programme, as he'd been off the road for 5 years (bump, baby, small child left little time/space for everything that needed done!). Now structurally sound and running better, needing a bit of bodywork done but not in bad nick for a 16 year old standard car. Lots of plans but we'll see how the budget holds out
