New Project: The Mini

Published on November 2nd, 2006 by DannyT. Filed under Mini Cooper

I’ve not been posting much lately as I’ve set myself a new project for my spare time that for once doesn’t involve me being sat in front of a computer screen. Last Saturday I picked up my old 1992 Mini Cooper from a friend’s place where I had been storing it for two years.

It’s certainly not going to pass any MOT any time soon but I intend to get her started and running again and eventually get her road legal again.

Here’s some pics:

The Engine (needs a bit of a clean up!):

The Rust (ahem…)

The first plan is to get the engine started which hasn’t ran for well over two years. Once that milestone’s been achieved I’ll be cleaning her up alot and then getting to work on the bodywork.

A little off topic from my usual posts but as it’s been taking up alot of my time lately thought I’d post something.

    I love the nerveFM Sticker in the window! What a radio station, suits the retro feel of the car
