[phillmoore]

Nice to meet ya chap over the week end hope to see some updates on this soon

it was nice to meet you too an i shall have the rest of my photos up soon as its missing loads on here an hope to have my car on the road asap

Nice to see the mini just got back from our restoration job one. Ive got loads of spares if you need anything. Also probably got a spare 998 somewhere. Also ive got some black seats and door cards your welcome to for cheap. Came out of a cooper and I hate to see em go to waste rather them be put to good use . Any tips or.parts you need hit me up. if you cant find it I probably can

wonderful I'll probably be in touch about my sills etc once I've finished transferring the rest of my project an have some spare cash

well I am not surprised that its got a 1275 cc engine dropped in, as its a common thing to do, as they drop the engines out of the mg metros of these!
I wont go down the route. both own a mighty M.
I have the mighty metro and you have the mighty mini!
Plus your my H reg brother too! and we both own proper rovers, none of that posh rover thing! MG badged up stuff!

ROVER FRIEND!!
Let talk headgaskets

Rover friend?? he has a proper rover man like me! sadly yours isn't mighty as the mini or the metro, as yours weighs about these two put together! plus we own proper go karts!

epic quotes from lolsteve an procta an yeah i was quite happy with having the 1275 in before i got hold of the mini shame the previous owner never updated the dvla so ill have to get my mates bro (who owns a garage an is also my nearest mini specialist ) to print me a letter that states its been fitted correctly etc as i know how awkward the dvla can be about these things

well ive got it covered under this :









so its protected quite well but it not in a garage (which id prefer as itll be easier to work on an far more protective vs the weather)

Ive decided that i'll use >this< to cover the inside floor after ive pulled up all the bitumen and got any welding done etc as its got the usual waxoyl treatment and provides some dampening qualities from road noise etc and doesn't set hard so shouldn't crack hopefully

As said a few photos of the rear companion bins















and a few of the rear arches











i thought i d only show the one shot of the shocks as both are as the same condition (plus i forgot to take a photo of it )
