My Mini
Turbo Mini Forums

we had one in the workshop for years but had to get rid when we lost the storage; i've been thinking it would have been a nice car to have these days. If i recall, it was sold for peanuts and all it needed was a starter to get it going again

I'll have a car there!

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

If I did buy it it would be smart for a daily runner since its made from plastic and wont rust away!

If it is practical & diesel it doesn't count

Neither does your green estate.

nice looking car mate well done

give em hell

Actually did some work for this car over the weekend (thanks for being my glamorous gormless assistant Andy!).

Stripped a couple of donor gearboxes down ready to build a clubman SC box for it (going to have an ATB in it now instead of a x-pin and a 3.2 FD).



More importantly I now have electricity in my garage! Just got the paint the floor then I can get my bench and tools in!

Looking good mate.

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

The box explosion or the garage? lol

I'm so excited to all my tools and bench back! I need to try and keep the place tidy so am looking for inventive storage methods.

This is what I have been looking into over the last couple of months. I think I have found what works for me now! I have got 2 halfords roll cabs for nuts, bolts and bits, both have kitchen work top on them. Then there's my new big roll cab for all my tools which I can work on top. Then for my lock up, I got a very good deal on a Blue Point tool trolley with some tools in it.

Good to see a bit of action John.

Garage looks nice and bright as well

Yep lights are really good! Got a pair of these:-

And white walls, got to paint a bit higher to finish the job (ran out of paint) and paint the floor.

Thinking about putting up tool boards and shelving above my bench but that can all come later.

EDIT: Oh and I guess I ought to get a radio and a titty calendar in there at some point!

Paint on the floor
Ex-bus depot stuff what they used to paint the servicing bays in so should be durable enough for a mini (and it was the right price £0).

Thinking about painting up the first brick (idea from paul w) and maybe a second coat on the floor but not sure it needs it?

i like it

I would do a second coat.

I'd do a second coat too. You'll only regret it later

yes a second coat john, .....................but guys john didnt tell you all, he painted himself into the corner......... he came to Benross HQ to get some thinners to get the paint off his bare feet as he didnt want to ruin his high heels ...............

Hahahaha, looking good John but what's happened to the floor? You sneezed?

2nd coat on the floor and painted the first brick up for a neater line. Also thanks to Andy and Davo for helping me get my toolbox and bench from the yard. I just need to turn all those boxes of crap into a working car now!



I still need a clock, radio and titty calendar though!
