Looks nice. A few bit to deal with and you'll be on the road. Just be carefull. Once you start looking to fix a bit of rust on a mini you can quite easily find more. I see a complete restoration coming :) It'll be fine. enjoy it

Thanks guys, I'm either going to do it up and keep it until I can drive, or do it up, Tax and MOT it and sell it on. That way I could make some money to spend on a cooper. :D And at some point I need to find some insurance money... I'll work it out somehow... :)
