Hi all,

I've posted before, I'm 19 and here is my pride and joy. You can find the rebuild thread in the Classic Mini section of this website.I just thought I'd show off and update you all with a recent photograph of the mini. Let me know what you think.

That is smokin Kudos to you for keeping the City Stripes, when insurance stops being silly that is definitely due a nice 1293/1380 upgrade thumbup

and for the car thumbup

you should post it here

and you don't have to go wild with the mods or bigger engine - keeping fairly standard will give you lower insurance, better running costs, keep the car reliable and still FUN

Loving that, like that you've kept it a bit different by keeping the stripes, black grill etc. Top job! smile

That's one cracking example. Mine was a complete shed! Good ones are getting quite rare now, good on you for getting one back to its former glory. Is it your first car?

Very nice chap! I had a 1300cc Mini Sprite when I passed my test at 18, loved it and wish I kept it as the price of them seems to have gone up!

Indeed, it's reminiscent of a Gallardo Superleggera. biggrin
