Found my way over here 'cause it was too quiet over at MiniMania's forum. I'm the 2nd owner of a 1966 Cooper S 1275 I bought with money I should have spent on college in 1975. Thus I was educated in the finer points of panel replacement, cold (non) starting, etc.. I found the Mini will handle blizzards pretty well if you don't mind directing all the heat to defrosting a saucer sized spot in the windshield, and made it to work in a flood too. By the 90s I was making enough $$$ to afford Golf diesels for daily drivers and the Mini spent a few decades on the back burner. But now I'm retired, have a nice shop with attached home, and I'm eager to get on with restoration. And much restoration my Mini needs- there's rust holes in most every panel, including some they don't even make! So I'll be posting often in search of advice...

Hi and welcome to The Mini Forum.  Look forward to seeing your restoration.

Welcome. For panels that 'they don't even make' try M-Machine here in the UK. They seem to have the most comprehensive range of Mini panels of all the suppliers. Email them with your problem panels.
