Hey guys and gals. Just picked up a Mini shell and sub frames today. looks like I have a pretty large project in front of me. I have wanted a project car since I was a kid (I'm 29 now) and finally got it. Looking forward to getting the project on the go.
Can anyone suggest a couple good manuals that have good info, pics diagrams etc for doing a complete restoration.

Hi, welcome to TMF. Any Pics? The haynes manual is very helpful, also look at the project threads, most repairs have been done.

Here is a picture I took last night when I got home. Certainly needs lots of work but seems to be a fairly solid shell to start with.
I'm planning on getting the body all fixed up and then slowly piecing in together over the next couple years. It will probably end up with a 1275 cc engine.
The second Picture is pretty much what I am shooting for as a finished project. I really like the look of it.
