finally got my garage cleared so my mini can get put to bed proper. Spent most of the day clearing and going to the tip with a load of unwanted junk. So have a few bits and bobs free to good home (pick up only)

Cooper side skirts in black, with cooper chrome kick plates (not bad condition)
Front grills in chrome, (also not bad condition).

so here is the car all tucked up in bed, I am so sad:sad: or sad b%^&*rd as the wife says.

Gordy, the pic is not recent anyway, just the standard chrome style, normal nick for a 6 year grille:thumbs up:, will bring them along if you don't want them on the day it's cool

That would be graet Greig thanks:thumbs up:
What I meant re the pictures was that if I'd been able to see them on my works PC I wouldn't have had to ask if it was an R50/53 you had:Whistle:

That fact that I have had to replace the roof, front & back doors is by the by :rolleyes:

What I need to do now is get the floor painted in order to cust down on the floor dirt.

What I need to do now is get the floor painted in order to cut down on the floor dirt.

That makes a hell of a difference:yes nod: I painted mine the first week I moved into the house way back in 84 and it was one of my better ideas:rolleyes: It lasts really well as I've only had to re-paint it once since then:thumbs up: Took me a few days to re-paint it tho as I had to move all the stuff to one end, paint it, wait for it to dry then move it all back and paint the other half:thud:

I have found that paint Crombers, so it's all yours (also found some of the concrete sealer to put down first so the paint sticks better ;))
