[P490 LON]

Hi

I have just bought the above as a project and cant wait to get started, 14 years since i last owned a mini.
Really happy with the condition of it, new boot, valsnce and subframe with poly pushes in it. Front end needs done including steps,a pillar, scuttle inner wings etc. Car came with fibreglass front( on ebay if anyone is interested) which i am not keen on so will be reverting back to original front end.

Will attach photo’s once i figure out how too.....

sounds like a cool project. For images I'd go with Imgur. Very easy to use
