Hi All,


I saw this Mini Cooper 1275 'N' Reg 1995 advertised for a Restoration for a Very Cheap Price the guy also had a Front and Rear Subframe for sale so i took them both with the shell . Front Sub Brand New, Rear Sub Needs Painting.

The Guy i bought it off had the idea of putting a flip front on it and a Honda Vtec Engine in it, But sold due to lack of time and Space. (as needed Garage Space for their new 60 plate Audi )

List Of parts bought:

Shell
Doors - 2 Of
Boot Lid
All Glass + Window screen
Front + Rear Subframe

Condition - Only rust on the Mini is on the Rear Arches (Inner Arch where Damper Bracket is)
- No Rust in Footwells, No Rust On Sills or Boot
- Looks like it has been WaxOyl'd underneeth at some point as it is pretty solid!

He is Delivering it to me Next Saturday (as we do not have a trailer) so I Will Post up Pictures as Soon as it Arrives!

I Will be posting up lots of photos throughout the Project hopefully!


Many Thanks, Jamie.

I've Pursued the Guy to drop it off Friday night! One Day to go!

WOW! Now that's a working space!! You could run around in there. Looks like a base for a great project.

[J_1275_O]

IT HAS ARRIVED !!!

All of the parts i bought off him came with it too, he even gave me some extras!

Looking through history, Every M.O.T until present date.
Receipt of first Purchase! Signed and Dated. 26th September 1995. 3 owners from new.

As I thought - A receipt for a Waxoyl'ing the underbody and labour done to apply it.

Looking at some receipts for work being done, all being well - the new parts for the mini hear and there - its even got a receipt from Mini-speed for a Side Exit Exhaust and all the bits !!!


Uploading Pictures to photo bucket will be up in 20 Mins


Thanks Jamie and Ollie
