Just got home from picking the new toy up, and I'm fucking chuffed, I dont think i've ever seen a mini shell thats not rusty, until today.... the sills are like new (maybe they are new

also, the engine needs less effort than i thought, I only need to find a turbo, all the other associated bits are in a box in the car

so, here's the pics













the arches need cutting out to fit 13s on, but thats no big deal, that can wait

very very happy

oh, and even being towed, it handled better than the corsa ever did

and a final pic for Haimsey

OMFG that is awsome and is a great bargain.

Takes those arches off and check for rust under them. Rust can be quite sneaky.

Looks awsome, i think i better make a road trip down to you and have good gander at this beast.

Looks better there than it did in the e-bay pictures. Should be much fun when it gets going.

What's the engine spec, BHP wise?
