Looks nice. I like the color.

BTW did the roof rack come with it? If not where did you get it? I've been looking for one for a while.

 

Google Pedro's Racks. Tell him Peter sent ya....I think I am mini #2 for his rack.

Veggivet - PM me privately and will let you know what I know.

 

Is it better to get a new mini or get an old one and upgrade it?

 

In this forum all the Mini's are old.

 

That all depends on what your looking for. We have both. The wife has a 2011 JCW and I have a 1978 Mini 1000. Both have their fun factors. One has a lot of gadgets and speed and the other simple, bare bones feel the road yet plesent.


BTW you wouldn't really upgrade a Classic unless it's out of nessecity such as bulbs wiring or things that are dificult to find.

 

Here's Mine. It's a 1967 Austin Mini Cooper S

 

lots of very nice mini's in here, reminds of when i was stationed in Germany and had an 87 Mayfair, hope to get a classic project soon

 

2 more pics of my vtec mini

 

Too many projects, the newest one is a bent yellow Internal tank banana... Err... I mean traveller.

that will buff out

 

At least it has a bed to recover on. Minis need their rest sometimes.

 

 

Here's a photo of my newly aquired '64 Cooper. This is an original Austin Cooper 997 North American export car. A restoration was completed in 1996, including a very tasteful and period correct and Cooper S replication. The car has no rust and shows no signs of any panel replacement. Enjoy.

 

Beautiful!

 

Here's some Updated Pics of my 78 1000

 

This is Nigel - our '79 Mini 1000 RHD.....

This was when we picked him up prior to a 12 month restoration/rebuild process......



12 months later, here is Nigel in his new color....

 

TA2DMAC- Nice roof rack!

OKMini- Great color, I really like it.

 

I picked the rack up at a flea market for 20.00. had to cut 7 inches off the width to fit it.

 

Great find! $20 is a steal.

 

. Still restoring it

 

Here are some additional images I recently took after reintroducing the front bumper, passenger side mirror, the 10s and more. Still more to do, but I'll always retain the track preparation while enjoying it on the street...

 

JBC, thats pretty sharp. Really liking it. Looking forward to seeing more pics and progress.

I just finished putting my Gumball Rally graphics on.

 

My name is Patricia and this is my beautiful Mini, Stella. We live in Memphis, TN, USA. Stella is a 1973 Mini, automatic, rhd, 998cc.

 

thats my Clubman 1275 GT (now powered by a Toyota Glanza V Turbo engine)

 

Mokerrific!
