Mini talk.

[RetroPug]

Helloooooo

Yeah I've had a few minis, I love them but it's just too disheartening how quickly they rot no matter how well you look after them.

Typical British Leyland problem, they made each mini at a loss so constantly found ways to make them cheaper which is showing now more than ever

I would definitely have another though, just I'd pay that extra to have an absolute ground up rebuilt car crammed full of waxoyl haha

Something like a mk3 cooper a with crossflow head takes my fancy, only problem with anything mini related is that it is ££££

It is very expensive (like 1500-2000 I think) but you can have a shell completely chemically stripped of paint and then given a good, modern chemical preparation and corrosion protection before getting it painted.
