At last heres my ideas for my rusty city. My plans:
Bodywork,
White wiv Black roof paintwork
Curley carbon-fibre wheel arches
Mk1 bonnet
Mk1 morris cooper grille
Mk1 morris cooper badges
Black 'n' silver pre 73 number plates
Chrome bumpers
Chrome wipers, handles etc.
clear indicators
Bullet mirrors

Engine 'n' Gearbox,
Standardish, Maybe stage 1 head
K&N filter
850 differential
stainless exhaust (probs Playmini Carbon-Tec)
Solid engine mounts
mainly just a rebuild as its done 78,000

Eventually I would like a 1430 with Webbers but won't happen
until insurance costs allow

Subframes,
REAR:

Adjustable Spax Minispares shocks,
Polybushes,
Goodridge Flexi Brake pipes,
Standard copper brake pipes (painted red),
brand new drums (painted red)
brand new shoes and other gubbins,
Refurbed Radius arms,
new brackets,
new nuts and bolts etc.

FRONT:

Much of the same as I haven't started rebuilding front yet.

Interior,
Cobra Clubman leather bucket seats (Black with white
piping)
Astrali 12'' steering wheel
Carbon dash with cooper white dials
Harnesses (Red)
Red rear seatbelts to match
black carpets
full Rollcage
chrome door fixings
No I.C.E

All hopefully within a £6000 budget :lol: ! It will take 2-3 years which should give me time to save the money up.

Thanks it will soon have engine removed and will go to a friends (who has worked on minis for many years) to have welding done. He will also teach me to weld which will be fun LOL! And then onto spraying, front subby and engine rebuild. :grin:
