Hi Guys
My name is Duncan and I am a newbie to the mini world. I recently bought a 1980 mini 1275 E (body has been modified).
When I bought the car it had been sitting in the yard (not running) for over a year. The previous owner told me the engine was dead and that i needed to buy a new engine. However after fiddling with the car (not really knowing what I was doing) for about a week I got it running. Currently she is leaking a leaking oil a little bit and smoking.
I am hoping that this group will give me some tips on how to get my baby looking and running amazing.
Regards
