Your mini history

[Vinay-RS]

I've had a mini since Jan 2014. It was/is my first car - Caesar - The red 1275 E. Standard car, with a stock 1275 motor and some minor mods so far.
I hope to make other minor changes, such as fitting an original radio and pod speakers and one day getting some discs and a booster. Maybe get some other GTS bits, like the 3 clock binnacle and the twin carbs. Twin tanks sounds cool too, but I don't want to cut a hole in the body.

You after a GTS replica Vinay? 
I know one of the UK suppliers has a dummy filler cap for the right hand side if you just want the look.

Funnily enough, I'm just keen on tasteful mods that look like they belong and improve the experience. Not trying to fool anyone into thinking a humble 1275 E is an example of the famous GTS.

I'd love an actual tank, so that one could actually do longer drives in a mini. I mean a 35 l tank and one 25 l tank would make a big difference.

Now mine

Bought my first mini '74 bullnose deluxe shortly after my 21st birthday with the intention of rebuilding it with all the spare time I had at varsity which never worked out so it sat under the carport for the year. Shortly after my 22nd birthday another mini came up for sale with a pretty decent shell. Roughly about the same age, although I'm not exactly sure. So I went off and bought that one with the idea of creating a scrap to drive to the shop and back while I was busy rebuilding the other one. 

I know the feeling. There is so much extra time when studying, but it never seems to go towards a project. Glad that you're getting back on the project progress path now.
