Love your Mini rich :)

Problem with old Minis is that its hard to put a price on them, could get 1500 for it, could get 500. Without pictures its hard to tell, I got mine for a steal at £900 and its super limited :)

Cheers thats true. What Mini have you got? We have done a Mini 30 in cherry red  :cool::



Damaged as you can see we got it for £300  :laugh:

He did spend quite a bit on it but because he was doing all the work himself it did cut down the labour costs,

There are 2 more minis in there now going through a full restoration

Thats the way do it - yourself  :cool: heres mine http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=200878.0



Cracking job on that mate  :cool:

Cheers :afro:

Sorry for the hijack OP and Mini haters  :laugh:

There is a Guy in Rochdale that my Dad was good friends with, He owned a Mini specialist Garage, I still go down there every now & then for a brew, His Garage is now like an Aladins cave full of old Mini parts that he has collected over the years

will try and get some pics from him problem is stored at his brothers house under a cover and he is about 30 miles away. Think he would be happy with £500 as it stands but it will need alot of work body wise might be easier to reshell it being a cooper.

mate will have no way of jacking it up where it is. also  struggling to source a cheap way of recovering it. Having spoken to him we have decided to run it on ebay 99p no reserve over 10 days so anyone interested can come and view will be up in the next few weeks when we both have time during daylight hours to do it. Its sat for the last 3 years so a few more weeks is going to mae no difference
