Mine and my dads

[GTIAlex06]

Think iv posted my car before, but a lot has changed since then.

1989 Mini City. 998cc.
Undergone a slight running resto including subframe, sills and doorsteps.
Decided to go archless and slowly turning it into a nice little retro mini.

Replaced all brakes and suspension and the lot.
Wont bore you too much.

Headgasket blew recently so decided to change the manifolds for better items and it goes like a little rocket now
Finally pleased with it, after almost two years of ownership.
Plans for the future are to put it on 10" wheels to complete the retro look.


And my dad just turned up today with this...i had no idea and its safe to say i havent stopped grinning since.
Always had a soft spot. Il let the pictures do the talking

Love the Mini Not sure about the black bootlid, though.

Very nice Subaru too.

Yeah i originally got it just to replace the dented/rusted original item but decided to keep the black for now

Went out for the the first proper hoon in the subaru and its jaw droppingly quick

Love the "never been" sticker!

Cheers geez.


Two new tyres fitted, figured that was a good enough excuse for a drive.

Took some more photos

Fitted cobra classics, with matching cover for the rear. Il find an old photo of the interior out, has made a MASSIVE difference.
Feels good not to fall out the seat when cornering

I love Cobra Classics, they suit Minis so well. Looking good.
