G'day Mates

G'day All,

Been perusing this site for a couple of weeks now getting tons of tips and info so thanks for that.

So I purchased my new to me MINI 2 weeks ago. Found a 2003 Chili Red with white roof and mirrors with 50k miles on it. Luckily I was able to get it for $8900 so I think I did pretty well considering.

It needed new front tires and a lot of elbow grease to clean it up but now is looking pretty good - yay me!!

I have installed the aux input and replaced a few broken pieces such as wind deflector in the sunroof, rear wiper washer nozzle piece and hatch emblem. The only thing left is to put the bonnet stripes on that I ordered and are sitting at home and I am waiting for the Craven strut defenders to arrive as there is a small amount of mushrooming.

Cheers
David
