I've owned this car now for over 3 years and it's come a hell of a long way and I've thrown a hell of a lot of money at it! It's never been seen a track since I've owned it (Lifestyler) I know! but is a very capable car and with a few more bits could make a perfect drift car. I've been using it as a daily for the entire build so it's also easy to live with as a daily skid car. About a year ago I did a 328 conversion with an M50 manifold (with a proper fitting kit) (currently still registered as a 318) and went fairly OCD on the engine and bay and replaced as much as I could to make it as reliable as possible, and since then the only issue I had was a split intake hose which was replaced with a brand new one. A couple of years ago it had a full repaint in Black Cherry Pearl, and had a lot of bits smoothed off and a custom CSL ducktail made to fit. It's taken me months to talk myself into selling it, And I'm still not sure I want to! But I need something more economical and something I'm not tempted to keep spending money on so I can finish my 5 year classic mini project finally! MOT - Till 10th June 2017 Mileage - 142,000 (Will change as driven daily) Location - Deal, Kent Price - £2500 I Understand that Compacts are not everyone's cup of tea and people will probably moan its overpriced, But I feel the price is fair for the amount of work that has been put in to this car, It also isn't the average beat up thrown together drift car!
