After recently selling the moke, I decided to buy myself another project. Managed to get it for 350. White 77 clubman with rust in usual places.
i didnt even look at it, i bought in adelaide over the phone from melbourne. Body is pretty good just the usual surface rust and a couple of holes here and there. Tried to start it this arvo, found an unmolested engine bay (998) in very good nick. Turned the key and it started first go, no smoke and very strong, everything works very well, even the water sprayers. Needs brake attention.

My plans:
Fix rust, paint it monza red, fit 12 inch miniltes, stick on some of those GT stripes from chop chop, and use it as my daily.

Will post pics as I go. :D

Bah, Steve you know in reality that you'll do it up, then sell it.
And make a bloody killing.

Possibly. We will see. Everyone I do up turns out a little better than the last, which is probably why I keep doing them up! :D

Mini count is now at 22. Thats how many I have owned, not how many I have done up. It is a rough estimate cause i cant remeber them all.
But this is the only mini I ahve at the moment, so it will be getting all my spare time attention! :D
