Front cones
Ball joints
Checked battery under load and is excellent
Cv joints
Bearings all round
Oil filter and 20w50
Welded front foot wells and rear nearside by bin
Exhaust mounts
Front and rear bumpers
Mp3 CD player

Mot till April
Tax till January
Engine sweet just needs rolling road as running little lean-
Bad bits
Needs front end attention, rust in usual places- subby looks sound-engine has never failed me!
Wheels could do with refurbished but imagine most will put 12s on and turn it back into checkmate for instant value gainage!
The picture here does the front end a lot of justice so don’t be fooled by pics, it’s still a head turner but is a mini after all-
Will be putting new exhaust on next week as blowing and new steering column as had a drop bracket issue :@
Once this has been done it’ll be going on eBay-not really sure of value atm do will be starting at 99p unless the right offer is made, will consider sensible offers in current situ as can’t be driven due to column , and exhaust is riotous due to blowage!

Will add anything I’ve forgotten later.
i think shes a lovely colour scheme indeed
why the selling or put out for the feelers lol
Just the cost of keeping her-ie, not waiting fir things to go wrong but replacing them as soon as I get paid every month and then spending n ore than planned as I find other things! Lol and the practicality- think I’ve made my mind up but I just know that as soon as I’ve fixed her I’m probably gonna Fall in love again… but selling is the sensible option-
