I have an A Reg..blue mini, got cobra buckets, fat exhuast the lot..but doesnt look OTT cos its as standard with dark blue metallic paint, stripes..and is generally a mini cooper look-a-like

Question..

Should i do this mini up? its an A reg, 1TR..but its got ALOT of potential, its a non runner..but needs a new head gasket, and the brakes need upgrading...

so if you were in my position with it sitting outside ya house, would you do it up so it looked mint (not OTT) or just fuck it off down d scrappy?

at d mo i duno wat d hell i shud do with it..looks nice at d mo..so it would sell..but as i sez its got potential...

what should i do???

Thought as much. Seen pics of his Mini on MIG! He had to move the bulkhead slightly back I think because of the size of the engine!

Do you keep asking this question because you secretly feel the need to "shag a dog"?

Minis are great! I've been into them ever since i an remember. They are ery cheap to mod. I've got the MINI mag and the prices for stuff is unreal!

Try http://www.theminishoplondon.com for really good prices.

A set of deep dished superlights and stuble mods would look ace.
