Ok, Ive had my mini a few months now and just had a couple of problems, but mechanically everything is fine.
My problem however is the body work, and I have a few questions.

I need...(that I know of)

2 new rear inner wheel arches (Both have lots of holes)
The boot hinge panel that includes the bottom part of the lights,
a new boot floor ( i think it has too many holes to be patched up).
New valance and closing panels etc,
New left hand wing + A panel
The front inner wings look bad too especially on the nearside.
New sills and door steps,
new rear subframe,
new front subframe? ( ive been told its bent, hopefully that rather than the car)

So my questions,

Is it worth doing all of this? (money wise) or could I be better to get a cheap new one and use mine as spares.

Say I put everything together and the car is bent, can it be straightened out again?

Also, if I totally strip everything out, could I check to see if it is bent by measuring things etc??


thanks a lot,

The repairs that you list are only viable if you can do them yourself. Get a quote from a bodyshop. i would not be surprised if the quote was £500 to £1000.

Whether its worth doing really depends on the value of the car (to you and to sell) and wether its for parts only or parts and labour.
