Cheers mate and i love me van

Here's everything from my estate apart from the shell in the back of my 106

Mate what a epic Mini projects, you've got some skills being able to get some old classic minis & bringing them back to life.

My first car was a Mini Mayfair with a 1lt engine which me & my handy mate ( as i was useless back then) dropped a 1.3lt metro in & a respray, some 12x5" revalution alloys, 2" Play Mini Exhaust, Cooper leather seats & a walnut dash & lots of chrome.

I loved that car, was just to small so had to sell it






My mate also rebuilt a 850cc Mini with a full engine rebuilded, fully de-seamed, roll cage, 10x6" alloys, custom dash finished of in Orange it was a awesome mini but he crashed it & that was it till now when he is restoring a Mini pick up for his dad & building a fully custom race mini which should be pretty dam good as he has been running his own engineering company since he killed his mini 12 year ago, so can design & make anything he wishes so should turn out pretty good & unique.

If you want anything making let me know & i'll pass on he details.
