Here are a few snaps of my mini which have been taken this week. I bought the car as a wreck from a farmer in Aberystwyth 4 years ago and it has been a full rebuild. I started spraying last week, and it does'nt look too bad. This is the first time i have sprayed a car, and so it is not perfect by any means!    I hope to finish it with a black vinal roof. RW |

Cheers guys! It is a 1275, and its got what I believe to be dunlop alloys, although i may be wrong. You can see them a bit better in these photos. Here are some photos of it before i bought it.     The floor was rotten right through, both rear wheel arches were non existant, and as can be seen there was no drivers side wing! I thought that it was fairly sound until I got it home and starterd stripping! RW |

The wheels are the next serious job i've got to do, and they are going in black with silver highlights. I've seen them on other cars, and they look the business!! ;D With any luck ( and finances allowing) I should have it in for the MOT before Christmas. Cheers for the comments guys.  I will keep the thread updated as I progress!! RW |

Here are the latest pics of the mini. We fitted the front and rear windccreens this week, and I now have very sore thumbs from the experience!! Next are door seals and rear window seals. I would have got them done today, but for the welsh weather!!!   |
