what are your mini plans?

now that winter is nearly here and there are less events etc there must be some projects going on. being a naturally nosy person i was just wondering what the nutcases have planned for their cars over the next few months?
  mabel has had her new (second hand) interior fitted yesterday ,mini 30 black half leather with red trim. (anyone want to buy a grey velour mayfair interior vgc pm me?!) and is as we speak in motatec having some 6x9,s and an amp fitted. now i am skint and can't even afford jaffa cakes but i don't care!!
   

i'm planing to give our a WASH

knew i shouldn't have spent all my cash on new stuff for mabel-just found a lovely big rusty bit in the boot floor-arrgghhhh(p2_death)(p3_46)(p3_13)


washing?? that sounds like hard work...have a party ring and sit down instead

GINGER NUTS!

Party ring!


Hopefully Dizzy will get some new back panels for the winter  (are you going to the somerford mini place Matt?)

And I want some decent speakers too.

Ive got lots to do to my innocenti

1. Fit new A Panels and arches.
2. Get the car Painted (rosso red) and refubish my mercury alloys
3. Fit a new wiring loam (that will be fun!!)
4. Put the rest of the car together.
5. Drive it!! (the best bit)

P.s. any body think of a good name for my mini??

and im aiming for all under £1,000!!

im going to drive my van a bit more.

and i would like to respray it in smokey grey with a white roof, a five speed box, supercharger, nitrous and loads of other stuff i would never get insured on.

Im only on £200 so far and that includes a new wiring loam, and im getting the whole (inside and out) car painted for about £300. So thats £500!! So its is posible.

nice one! where did you get it sprayed?

MOT times 2.  Roo will hopefully not need a lot, oh apart from a Carb jet and balance and windscreen wipers.

  The 1275 needs wipers as well and skuttle and offside wing and some gear box work.

   Go to get 1 done before the end of October..........GGrrrrrrrrrrr

cool surname

my mini is being serviced ready for use, as i tuck my motorbike up for the winter (i'm such a fair weather biker these days) and get ready to bring mini to live with me and let the bike stay with the old bird!

i'm getting the windscreen seal replaced by my man wot does in the hopes that the rain will stay on the outside - (if i can just get that to happen in my flat as well i'll be laughing! )

it has got this very classy sounding rattle, which we thought was the wheel arch - turns out it's not and we haven't got the foggiest what it is now! c'est la vie!

See thats what you get for boasting about the only problem you have is the pop rivet comeing out of the wheel arch when the rest of us were moaring about the work we have to do to our minis. Are you sure you have not left the biscuit tin in the back pocket.

that is an absolutely ridicularse suggestion. as if biscuits last that long in my mini!

well dad has a long list of stuff to do,
1.have to piece together the mini morris,
2.have to get the cooper running right,
3.finish off my little girlracer mini, and then i am going to attempt to respray it myself!
4.have to remove the tree thats growing through the middle of our clubman convertable
and a secret plan that might happen next year between dad and another nutcase, but i will not mention any names!

the windscreen is now sealed, and looking very classy, and the rattle is fixed. when old bird asked what it was they couldn't remember, so i'm guessing it can't have been very serious. maybe they'll mention it on the bill when i get it!

now to get the bike serviced and tucked up for the winter....

So hows the flat for water leaks now

well it hasn't rained too much lately, but i'm sure it will leak like a good un. having a battle with the council (sounds familiar) to get double glazing put in which they reckon is 'detrimental to the character of the street scene'. it's not like my building is even a listed one - it's just in a conservation area - could have fooled me - it's bloomin' rotten!! and other people have double glazing already, and its a second floor flat so who's going to see it anway. they'll soon know when my windows fall on someone's head coz they're so rotten....

rant temporarily over - thank you

prob don't wanna ask but why is there a tree in your clubman??!

my clubman is a tad bit rusty so a tree has prob just pushed its way through the floor, cause we havent even been to see it in about 7 months, we keep it hidden away from mother

ahh i see-i thought the mcfly obsession had led to you neglecting the garden a bit!

I've got to rebuild our mini.Most panels need replacing.Then i might be buying a 1998 mini which is smashed up the back end.

Never mind the garden - what about the poor neglected mini!

i didnt know we owned it for about 3 months, dad bought it when i told him not too, just give us a couple of years and it might get on the road!

The amount of minis you have it will take more than a few years to get round to it.

i am after a cheap one to do up for the winter

perhaps you could keep the tree in it -might be an interesting design feature? and you could hang your washing on it so it dries while you're driving!  If i see a tree going at sixty with mcfly tshirts hanging off it i will know it's you!

Good idea mabel
it could protect me from the rain when im driving.(p4_tree)

won't do much when you go through any puddles

and it's nearly christmas so you could get your dad to put his wings on from the grand tour and sit on top of it!!   ouch
