Hi, I'm new in these parts.

I've just got a '91 Cooper Carb and my wife has a 2005 BINI Cooper - I know a lot of people bash them, but it really is quite fun!

Mine has just turned from being a nice easy roadworthy project into a bit of a horror story that'll take a lot of money to put right.

I daresay I'll be ranting about it here before long!

Cheers!

i have a 1979 austin mini clubman in orange i bought it back in march and i have been slowly bringing it back to life with lots of love and attention and some welding. mods so far are revos 6x10 classic bucket seats new dash and a stage on kit with rolling road set up and it made 62bhp so was well impressed. work so do like every mini is endless but to list a few is a lot of pannel work and sanding and then a nice respray. this is my first project and my first mini. looking forward to talking to like minded people and getting some top tips. thanks for reading.

1989 Mini. Owned it for about 2 days now. Its currently SORN. Needs a little TLC on the interior. And the underneath. Subframes are intact & she has a strong 998 engine.

Fortec Superwide body kit 16" wheels 50/50 offset modified 1275 Turbo. And the best bit there are no spacers on the rear and its wider than a Fiesta XR2i body plan

Fantastic looking Mini, mate. I would centralise the front No plate and fi a MKI chrome grill.Wheels look fantastic. Fortec bodykits are very rare.
What power plant?
