Hi All

I've just purchased a 1970 Mini Mk3 (Sedan) so am probably going to be asking loads of questions on the forum.

Thanks in advance

  Old Mini made new
Posted by: henkjooste - 08-19-2016, 12:30 PM - Forum: Your Classic Minis Story - Replies (19)

We fetched an old Mini yesterday, that we are going to start rebuilding from scratch. 
The Mini was standing for a very long time and was badly neglected, so it will be a lot of time and effort to get everything stripped, and fixed up, but I am planning to share the whole build over here, and encourage some help and advice or suggestions along the way.

I will try and upload a couple of photos to start of with.

Hi everyone.

My dad and I have just laid our hands on a very neglected mini, and we are planning to start a complete rebuild.

We are hoping to push on the buttons of some knowledgeable members here to steer us in the right directions!

Thanks in advance Big Grin
