Had  a good look round the mini and theres plenty to do! It needs new drive shaft oil seals. Gear selector oil seal and some of the core plugs need replacing.  The wiring also needs a good going through as there seem to be plenty of green terminals and a few connections broken off. All the brakes need attention as the pedal goes right to the floor and there is no fluid in the system. 

My plan for the car is to get some of it back together before tackling anything else on it. I've decided to get the glass back into the car and the door built.

I've wax oiled down the window pillars, door pillars, and sills . Under the roof there was some surface rust so I've rubbed that down treated with rust cure and painted it . 

I've fitted the roof lining today a job that I was really dreading. To be honest it went well and wasn't as hard as I expected. Took my time with it and did it bit by bit and Im happy with the result. 

 

My next job is to get the glass fitted then after that Im going to think about dropping the rear sub frame to refurbish it.

Nice work!!

Even when you finish it there will always be something that will need doing... Good work with the roof lining... slowly slowly...
