Summer Project - Mini Restoration

Instead of getting a summer job, i decided to continue on with my landscaping and eBay selling as well as take on a bit of a larger project - Restoring a 1991 Rover Mini

The idea was to buy a mini in need of some TLC, fix it up myself and sell it on at a profit.

Ill break down the costs here;

Purchase Price - £360
Retrieving the Mini - £147.63
Parts Bought So Far - £32.69
Total Cost to Date - £540.32

The mini is almost roadworthy - just needs an MOT. So for about £600 ill have a roadworthy Mini. I have budgeted roughly £800 to make the mini more appealing in terms of attractiveness and from research i expect to be able to sell the mini for around £2,500. So at the end of the day, i project a profit of £1,100. Not too bad for a summer job/hobby.

Will keep you posted on the progress.
