burney my jet black
Turbo Mini Forums

i brought burney the jet black mini back in june 2004 as a shell with nothing more than just the subframes and steering column on him for the huge price of £100 which was quite good seeing as there was minimal rust ( front wings and front pannel, driverside scuttle, small hole in rear seat base, driver side floor pan and a tiny hole under the fuel tank.

i imediately started stripping the rusty pannels from the front and replaced them with new genuine wings and a non-gen front panel making them into a removable front.

i then added the wheels(£280 from a auto jumble) 6 point cage and recaro seats(£15 and a knackered ps2). i found a nice dash(£89 brand new) and bonnet(£38 ) on ebay and added these to the equation. to keep the dash looking good i decided to use diferent dials to the standard so i added some clocks i picked up at auto jumbles and a push start button.

soon after came the arches which are group 6 and harnesses also at this time i added the steering wheel to keep up with the more modern look of the dash.

here are some pictures of my mini so far they are a couple of months old and i have done a few things since but it gives you an idea of what im doing
