What arches are those?

They are sportpack arches

Thought that was mine for a second

They do look very similar don't they? Although mine is better

Hi,

Just wanted to say hello and show off my new site for my Mini 30 Automatic which I'm looking forward to getting out of the garage in the Summer. There's not many around anymore so thought I'd put something up, the interior might not be be to all tastes but I love it!

This is chilli, bought as a box of bits off ebay in July 2012 and rebuilt be the wife and I over the last 6 months and yes we're still together

my mini ..........

Well its not my mini now, that can be seen in the members journal area, but this was my first and in a lot of ways the inspiration for my current obsession...

Hi,

This is Bee, on the back of Lola picked her up yesterday, now the work begins............

Don't have a clue about her as yet, but with time and love she will be gorgeous again

Vinnie

This is my latest Mini, and daily runner.



This is my second Mini, which unfortunately I never got to drove as it had 27 MOT fails and we don't have the money to fix it!



This is my first Mini, and first Mini project. A 1980 Clubman Estate. It's fair to say the Mini enthusiast down our road has his eyes on this and wanted to swap it for a Mini Van

A friend took this rather arty photograph of my work in progress that I am calling "Winnie" (as in Wills mini)

Some really nice cars out there just been through the whole thread ,busy tonight obviously !well if anyone cares to have a look at what im driving heres a link to a short video I made !!

I keep coming back to this topic and i feel like a perv, dribling over other people's property lol

this is my 1995 Sprite called Blue and my parents' 1993 Cooper, Chubby.

My mini Rio, anyone know of clubs local to Plymouth that I can take her to build contacts as I am far from mechanically minided and need some help to keep her in a good condition.

Thanks

Dan

This is Gertie my mini thirty, currently in the garage for further restoration!

My first mini!

I've just glanced through dozens and dozens of your Mini photos in this thread and find that 80% to 90% of the Minis here have some sort of wheel arches or flares. Is this arches - no arches issue primarily because a Mini simply "looks" better with arches? Is it a cost issue, a practical issue, a handling issue, or what? There must be a reason so many more Minis have arches than don't.

I'm picking up a really nice totally stock 78' Mini 1000 next month (drum brakes all around) that currently has 145/80/10 tires on some pretty ugly stock steel wheels. The car will not be raced and 99.9% of the time it will be used to buzz around town or attend a local car show. I'm still trying to decide whether to go with new 10-inch (Minilite) wheels with 165/70/10 tires and no arches/flares, or bump up to new 12-inch (Minilite) wheels and 165/60/12 tires which would most likely require some sort of arches/flares.

What's you opinion?

My much loved GT.
Coming off the road in October for a well earned Resto.

What wheels are they?

Here's Scrappy, my mini 30

My girl after 18 months at Race Motorspot !

My 1991 Rover City E that I purchased this week. My 3 year old daughter has named it jack! Just joined the forum looking forward to being part of it

We had a to get a 4x4 because of where we have moved to so got a Skoda Octavia Scout and needed to sell our existing Skoda Fabia Estate, ended up doing a swap with a nice chap from Wales, Fabia for this,



Well pleased, going to do a few shows this year then sell on and concentrate on my original mini project lurking in the garage.

This is George, back on the road this week after restoration (transformation!)

Nicely done, like the Mk1 lights
