Hi,
I am a newbie to this site but not new to mini's.
I have had a few new mini's in my time. I usually like to buy ones down on their luck and restore them back to factory before moving onto the next one.
Currently I have a 2001 R50 cooper that I am working on that might be for sale soon, (not sure though as I quite like this one).
Hope to speak/meet some of you soon.
Sandy

only just got the car, haven't had anytime to do anything apart from give it a clean
more time and money required before I get started on it :yes nod:
as you'll notice the tail pipes are missing from the exhaust, but apart from that it's a good base car to mod :cool:

That looks a nice car.
What are your plans for it?

once I get time, space in my garage...Oh and some spare money :cool:
I'd like to get a few goodies :yes nod:
Miltek Cat Back and Janspeed Manifold, Oranjje Stealth or dave F airbox
15 or 17% pulley, belt, plugs and maybe an upgrade coil pack ?
16'' x 7 Hairpins & Tyres, pick up a Scoop M7 if poss and maybe try a Pro Alloy I/C or get an Airtech
after that It'll all depends on how the old girl handles those mods
*edit - I'd need to upgrade the Front brakes, so I can stop the thing*

They are the aero bars, you’re right! [emoji6] Just wait until it has two clunky bikes covered in mud on it! [emoji38]

Well that's it up for sale. My garage is about to get demolished to make way for an extension so I need the space, ( secretly want to get a Cooper S but don't tell the wife :Whistle: ).
The advert should soon be in the for sale section of the forum.
