Yep I would be tempted to run it as is too.

If you start it will turn into a full resto.
Good passenger door, bonnet and scuttle but the rest will need attension before painting.
Looks like someone has taken their size 9's to it?
Appears that it was a magic wand gearbox once, has the engine been changed too?
What is the floor/sills and subframe like?

I've got a reasonable powder blue mk2 interior if you want to go for the std/retro mod look?
I would be tempted to paint the door rattle can the panel repairs add some oew reverse rims and run it as a mk2 cooper lookalike in used retro condition?

Don't think it's a Trevor - more of a Freddie :lol:

Looks like a nice basis for a project. Don't see many Mk2s about. I like 'em :gimme:

looks pretty original, it even has the original number plates on and not the black and white ones everyone seems to put on Mini's these days.
