I bought this mini a few months ago of eBay and have realised that there is a lot more rust than I was led to believe. It has no mot but does start and drives however there is a small hole in the engine block(see pics).The rear subframe is rusted and will need replacing aswell as the boot floor, inner wings, sills, doorsteps, both wings and front pannel . Do you think that it would be better to try and sell it as it is, or to break it and sell it as parts?

Does the engine leak coolant out of the hole in the block?

If the engines ok it must be worth at least £200 even if only for spares.

If i was looking a that on ebay, i wouldnt be bidding much higher than £100. £150 would be my maximum.
