I'm from Norway and is educated car technician with Ford.

Always wanted a Mini Cooper, and this was right price and some work.
Things to do is complete body rework and rust removal, turbo or supercharger, want a 5 speed gearbox (dunno how to find one yet), been thinking of doing the 10 inch wheel work...
Color on the car will be dark blue metallic with white roof and bonnet stripes (yes, it's been done a million times, but i want it anyway!)

Anyhow, here's a picture of what it looks like today. The vent in bonnet will be closed up!

Hi and welcome to TMF!!!

She looks pretty tidy, good look with the resto but I'd steer clear of the 5 speed gearbox >_< especially the Jack Knight
