Pics indeed.

Hope I do this right....

Its Savanah Green totally 100% stock. so very very stock its even all original parts it had in it 37 years ago when it was new, which I have been slowly replacing with new as far as brake lines, hoses etc goes.

I'm just at a loss. I have too many ideas swirling thru my head and not enough minis! Parts isnt to much of a drama as i have a second mini that has a totally fubar body but all the bits that make it run to strip it of.

i just put jelly bean mags and a-almost-like-a-real-70's-one exhaust on mine so she still looks like a 70's mini. But mine looks nowhere near as good as yours. Its your car and your dreams, but id leave that one looking tidy like a timewarp and pimp out another thats not that stock. Shes a beauty mate, you should be proud of it!

Seeing as it is so original it would be a shame to "loose" this example of our motoring history. If it were me I would keep it standard, maybe wack some mags on it but try and stay away from flairs if possible.
Pimp your next one...trust me you'll get more :roll: .
How bad is the donner mini you already have? post some pic's of it up, it may be repairable their for pimp-able 8) .
