Nice mini you have there, you prob haven't had any rust with that age, I should have bought a newer one for the prices I payed to get all the rust cut out and re-sprayed :sad:

Nice wheels!!! :grin:

LOL! :saywhat: Thats what you think!! It's got a small rust spot appearing on the top ot the A-panel, the frame on the underside of the bonnet is starting to rust around the edges, and the spot light brackets have become a lovely shade of brown too!! Unfortunately non of this is covered under the Rover warranty!! Why you ask?? because they're a bunch of c**k munching to**ers!! Pardon me :grin:

Overall the car owes me about £10000 so trust me, your much better off with an older model. Oh i wish i stayed with carbs!!

well the beast that empties my wallet, isn't really a mini, but it has lots of mini in it!
its a 1969 (75 reg)mini jem, its an old kit car you could build out of your rusty mini.
its a bit of a laugh, noisy , quite comfy, fast enough to get you banned, and is tiny!
its been an ongoing project now for 15 years , its got a 1293 m.e.d. lump in it, 's' brakes, hilos, gaz dampers, 2.9 final drive for relaxed motorway cruising, and playing with boy racers!
