That looks pretty good for the money..

I would tackle the head gasket, and probably worth getting an unleaded conversion while the head is off, cost £100 done..!!, thats probably the cause of the 3rd gear stutter too

Rear valance is a breeze.... and the older minis tend to be much better condition for their age because of the thicker and better quality metal that was used to build them..

A good start to the world of minis...
