mine cost me just under £600.... done a fair bit of welding though and bought a rear sub-frame yesterday 
to be fair i'd say in total its gonna have cost me about £1000 (including the cost of the car) that includes the bits i need to finish off for the MOT.....
and fingers crossed i'll be on the mini rally from cystal palace to brighton at the end of the month
beeep beeep!
Another lil question dicky, how have you modded your enginee etc....
K&N air filter?
straight through exhust? etc... .
ive been told that if you do it right the 1Ltr can be almost as quick as the 1275 cooper engine and it dont coast a arm and a leg got any views mate?

great pics there dicky!
that red one is how i want mine looking by the end (although i wouldnt go for the checkered roof personally but each to their own
@ridhaz, weldings a bitch mate lol, and i hope shirleyville sorts this out as its hardly worth ripping someone off for £40, how well, when i get his addrsss he'll wish he had sent the phones straight away, nothing like a bit of realism to wake some people up is there
