Mini

n/a
Mileage:
n/a
Description:
Pictures to follow over the next few days (10/08/12 today).
Originally a mini sprite automatic in silver... Was later converted to a manual. The benefit of the auto was it was marginally wider than the manual!
This car would ideally suit a mini enthusiast.
Owned it for 10 years now, drove it for 2 years before I had the wise idea to strip it and put my personal touch on to it - unfortunately, that never transpired, and it has remained stripped.
I haven't seen it in about a year as it has been locked away at a secure garage away from home (hence needing to add photo's at a later date).
I'd hazard a guess that the engine will need replacing completely - give the head to a man that can who then seemed to vanish off the face of the earth.
Did buy a stage one budget exhaust for it from manifold to back box, still present (but unsure about condition).
Bought some second hand half leather recarro's which need reconditioning (but never got around to it).
Took front subframe out and stripped back to metal then sprayed it blue, never got around to doing the rear. Put deflex mounts on the the front (but not the rear due to not removing).
Had one wing replaced and the guy who did it didn't do the most perfect of jobs but you can't really tell. Has had welding done on one sill also!
Has a sunroof.
Did start to fill the grooves (for smooth look) and got a fair distance with it.
Never been in a smash... Most of it is there and I would love the opportunity to have the time, space and finances to finish it one day, but I don't have them crucial things right now so putting it on swapz to see if someone who has would be interested.
The swapper would have to collect with an appropriate trailer or van!!
Have some older photo's of it whilst work was underway (stripped down) but nothing up to date which I'll try and get some for the next few day/ week!
