For sale: Yellow B redged Mini 25
Item Condition: okish, not drivable tho, i bought this car in june last year for 940 quid off ebay, (not a good idea) anyway picking the car up and all was ok, apart from the fact that there was no oil in and the gearbox was grinding in third gear. couple of months later the engine went. the car has done 100,000 miles with the original engine so i was expecting it.
so i set about a 1275 conversion which took quite a while, so here is the current list of everything that i have done over the past 6 months!

thats all i can think of at this moment! its cost me a fortune and i haven't enjoyed doing it much as i'm not going to put it back on the road.
the car has no tax and the mot runs out on the 16th, but the car isn't drivable and would need to be trailerd away preferably.
