Hey Hey Thunder881 here.....

[Thunder881]

Hi everyone, im new to this sight (if you didnt guess). Ive heard a lot about the sight from miniworld magazine so i decided to check you out.

Well im 18 (just) and i own a blue 1979 Austin Leyland Mini. It currently needs a bit of body work etc (new front end due to excesive rust and interior) to be done, but i dont mind doing it as ive wanted a mini project car for ages. It currently has a 898cc engine but me being a boy and 18, it wont stay around very long! lol. I have big plans for my mini and im sure you'll see it on here some time soon-ish. :)

The mini came into my life when i kept on bugging my mum about how much i wanted a mini until my birthday came and i woke up to find this one sitting on the drive and the keys in an envelope with my name on it! :D

Anyway, thats enough about me, i hope to chat to you all very soon and maybe see you in the future.

Cheers, Thunder881.:cool:

Yeh may be a long way to come, but if i have the time im more then willing to travel for a meet.

And the before and after pics are already in process, i had the same idea, just so i could see what it looked like when ive finished it. I estimate the body work and all outside accesories will take roughly a year and then the interior should be done roughly 6 months max after. So im sure there'll be plenty of pics of before, during and after!

Nice to meet you all and i hope to get to know you more soon. :D
