Hey all!!!

Just bought my fist mini today, im 16 and an want to do it up a little and just get some experiance from it etc

Its a mini City e, C reg, Cream colour.....starts and runs ok.....for a c reg, not to much bad rust just the usual spots......i paid £50 for it, its got an MOT ends end of this month....and tax untill november.....

Just thought i would say hi and will get some pics when i get it home

One thing thats worrying me a little is that the previous owner said the front ball joint had gon and the RAC had temporarily put a nut on it....but it would need soring out.....and help on that would be much apreciated!!!!

Thanks

Schweet! £50 sounds like a bargain, so long as there's not too much rust. Keep us posted and welcome to the forum.

welcome to TMF.

hope you get your mini done up how you like it. £50 is a great bargain, that's what cowboy paid for his.
