Hello,

What mini do you drive and are there any mods done to it ?
Also what are your plans :D !

I Have a 1981 Leyland Mini 1275 E
I am in the process of restoring it. Generally it is in good nick but it needs a new cote of paint and the interior needs some attention.

picked up a 1979 mini 1000 today, absolutely original (in brown) been garaged for years only done 29k miles.
Only rust is a little in wheel arch at base of A panel just a bit of cut and replace then an MOT. Not really planned anything yet as a pity to spoil an untouched classic. Meant for my son in 3 years (only 14 at the mo) but he wants to make it look like a cooper . not sure yet. A basic cleanup first.

Hello, I am driving a 1988 Austin Mini Designer 998cc.
Currently no mods.
My plans are to hopefully purchase a stage 2 tuning kit to improve performance, but I need some advice.
Also to fix all bodywork add sportspack wheel arches and to upgrade interior.

Thanks
