Ey guys, i'm Matt, i'm restoring a mini and because of this my parents believe i have what it takes to fix their cars when something goes wrong so i thought joining a forum would be a good move in order to get advice and parts.

Edit: my dad has a white 99 camry n my mum has a 04 silver camry ateva

It's Camry NOT Camary, it's not that much effort to read the badges.

Welcome to the club mate would love to see some shots of the mini!

nice mini project buddy and welcome to the club, are you doing a resto on the mini or are you planning on modding???

i ask because the amount of 4EFTE engines i have sold for power hungry mini enthusiasts is crazy :lol:

Thanks for the complIments, with the mini i'm going to keep it stockish because it is a fairly rare mini. It is a mini sunshine, it was basicly a standard mini with a few extras like a factory sunroof, pinstripes, tinted windows, wheel flares, a tacho and sports wheels. Leyland ony got around to making 360 before they went ***** up. Having a rare car can be good and bad. The good bits: everyone says ey is that a real sunshine and it is worth more. The bad: i cant mod it because i will cop heaps by all the mini people and they will claim i'm killing a classic and parts specific to the model are impossible to find eg, mine was mssing the sunroof glass :S

When i got the car it came with a 1275 motor from a cooper s, i'm going to give it a k&n or ramflo air filter, i'm also going to put some disc brakes up front and proberly leave it at that. If i want more power later on i could put some bigger carbies of a bigger exhaus
