Drive it,fix it,and change parts when cheap upgrades pop up.

Dont see the point making plans tbh as 9 times out of 10 they never happen.

Pretty sure theyr was a thread like this last year and i bet 90% of the folk who commented with their plans never actually done them or sold the car etc.

Not sure yet, probably plans will take a back burner so I can get a new van.

Made a couple of changes to the Mini since I last posted, but no pics yet!

The main plan for mine next year is to get the interior sorted

- Powder coat the roll cage and rear brace white
- False floor
- Black roof lining and pillar plastics
- New steering wheel of some kind
- Possibly bucket seats and harnesses, not 100% sure yet though.

Either sell and get an astra VXR, or get coilovers, miltek exhaust, paint alloys anthracite, courtenay hose kit with dump valve, but with the car being 7 years old and losing value every day, not sure if it's worth it...

edit - astra gsi btw.
