I’ve bought myself a 1984 Mini Leyland 1275E
Lots of work and money to be spent.

Hope you guys can help with some questions I have

Welcome from a fellow 1275 E owner :) Let's see some pics of your new Clubman.

Good luck with your rebuild/restoration. Looks like a nice project.

Can I put a Gts grill on a 1275e
Or is that against the mini code

The GTS grille is just a Clubman grille with the GTS badge on. That second grille in the picture is just from an early Clubman. Some people prefer it to the later grille. 

 

There's nothing really against the Mini code. It's your car, if you like the second grille, then go for it. The great thing about Minis is that there are so many custom options available to make your Mini truly fit your own style.
