I recently renovated a Mark 1 mini but found out that in 1980,s it had the back small window aperture replaced due to rust with the larger Mk 2 window Would it be better to convert back to smaller window or leave as is
many thanks for comments

It was not unusual back in the day to fit a Mk2 rear panel and window to a Mk1 which had been rear ended, maybe leave it as is and it is just part of the cars 'real' history. The cost of changing it may also be more than any extra value added depending how the figures add up and who does the work/parts/labour involved.
The new Mk1 Heritage bodyshells are modified to reduce the Mk2 onwards rear window size but not sure if they sell the small panels used seperately?
