Mini 998

[retrorob86]

So I have been looking on the forum for a while and decided it was time I joined up. Thought I would start by showing you all the mini I currently co-own with my dad.

This is how it looked when my dad was given it for free by a friend of his, this was in return for my dad finding him an anglia van at way below its value (it was stolen 3 months after he got it)



It was transformed into this after 4 years of working on it off and on



Here it is at the NEC classic motor show 2013 on the Zircotec stand (they coated the exhaust manifold for us)



And heres my father (in the middle) working hard at the same show (he works for practical classics)



I'll try to put a bit of a build thread together at some point for it still isn't finished lots of niggly bits to do, wiring/trim etc. Hopefully be done by August for the show organised by my local classic car club

Thanks for reading

Here's a few photos from the work that we have carried out. The car has had new driver and passenger floors, inner and outer sills both sides, A post's, Wings, Front Panel, Scuttle repair, Rear window surround repaired, new rear valance. I will try and get hold of some photos of the engine and suspension build in the next couple of days too.














Thanks for looking
