Bah humbug.

Been too busy with uni stuff and work recently to have a proper look. And when I have had time, it's been raining so I can't do anything.
 
Got 5 weeks off now though. :)

You'll always be our weird guy... :pathead:

Fixed it.. Well, it wasn't broken in the first place. I just didn't realise it didn't have an auto choke.
 
Once the previous owner advised me about that it started straight away first time, quicker than my dads car in this kinda weather!
 
He also brought round the CD player too and :lol:. The speakers aren't bad to say they're older than me but it's safe to say I'll be buying some new ones after Christmas.
 
Oh, I'm also closer to finding the leak. Passenger footwell had 2 inches of water in it with no water anywhere else. Emptied it all out and more water seamed to be coming up through the floor? What is this magic? :lol:

:welcome:

Very icy car...

I bet I look quite silly in it too. :lol:
 
And the spot lights aren't wired up yet. That's just one thing on a long list.
 
Managed to get a hold of a MIG welder off my mate too so if the rust on the underside goes straight through the floor we can just cut out the rust and weld a new steel plate in. Much cheaper than paying someone a couple hundred pounds.
 
Need some new rubber seals for the wheel arches too as these ones are a bit knackered.
 
The tracking needs sorting too but that won't cost much to get done.

I was going to move it away from the garage so I could give it a proper clean today but as soon as I got all the washy things and buckets of water ready it decided to rain, a lot. And then as soon as I emptied the buckets and put everything away it decided to stop raining and be sunny. >.< Was too late to wash it by then though. But I still took a pic.
 
Tada!
 

 
A 1991 Rover Mini Studio 2 998cc(:cool:). Only 2000 were made and 500 of those were LHD. Only about 200 left on the road and another 200 declared off-road. It has the original interior in great condition too.
 
Going to see if I can book it into a rolling road about 10 miles from me as the bloke is apparently really good getting Minis running perfectly.

It's dark out now so I'll get some pics of it tomorrow before I go to uni.
 
Had my first stall too. :( Managed hill starts fine all day even on the stupidly steep hills yet I stalled it backing up onto my driveway while my mum and the neighbours were watching to see if I could fit through the gap between their car and our house. :lol:
 
It's awesome though, handles unbelievably well even on the wet roads.
 
Gonna have to do some work to it but I knew that already but as it is it's fine for driving. :)

I got my car! I got my car! I got my car!

Bought my first car!
 
Picking it up on Sunday assuming my legs don't drop off.

Had two Sunday dinners! Well, two small Sunday dinner but still two!
 
Also decided to go and have a look at a car I might buy. It's only got a 998cc engine but it looks great and sounds awesome too. Just going to have another look at it tomorrow in daylight as by the time I got there today it was dark. If it all looks good then I'll be buying it and paying for a years insurance. :yay:

Yea, tell us or :bh:. :p
