Hi
I have recently purchased a very tidy mini metro HLE in original condition 41,000 miles and a full service history including original bill of sale this is a rare car due to the colour of it Snap dragon Yellow. 
Now i have big plans for the car over next winter and maybe next summer if it isnt finished by then. I plan on having the car painted by a friend of my dad who is a pro sprayer and will do a flawless job, rebuild both subframes painting and powder coating as i go along, rebuild and repaint the engine, replace any tatty looking trim and finally have the front seats retrimed if i can find the correct fabric.
I already have a collection of bits:
Nos n/s/r fog lamp
3L of snapdragon yellow paint
a few NOS side rubbing stripes but not a complete set
Front panel as it lets the car down slightly
i have a list of bits i need to try collect over the next year or so:
The rest of the side rubbing stripes to make a presentable full set
a passenger door in good / mint condition
grey / black marle seat fabric
Mint condition Steering wheel
and there will be more when i go round the car properly and make a list.
So what do people think this project may get mixed opinions some people may say it should stay unrestored, But i would to make a flawless and as close to concourse car to preserve and show off for many years to come.
