For now nothing drastic fix up the small patches with the new sheet metal I bought then was thinking metal front maybe with the american style hinges engine 1275 if I can find one for the right price straight through exhaust uprated suspension keeping original interior for now but may change it up in the future or before I finish the car wheels I was thinking some nice looking 12" alloys maybe slightly bigger arches so much to think about and not sure for colour yet. Maybe a cappuccino colour with cream roof arches.or metalic brown and black trim. Or something crazy lol

Does sounds like a an interesting build I think the cappuccino colour would work really well some nice wheels good engine just a cool little retro look to it :)

Tonight I moved the engine and sub frame to one side then stood in the engine bay and picked up the mini and moved it nearer the garage.I then removed the front and rear screens roof gutter trim drivers wing wiper motor assembly and bulkhead sound proofing bulkhead is solid drivers inner wing needs a repair up top where the fresh airvent pipe goes through.
