I've being told (ordered) i must update with what its required . the last owner attempted to restore SAD  but had no time,  the rear boot floor has being cut out and replaced and hinge panel just needs welding up tight and finishing of.    there is a small hole in the drivers floor   and the passenger step needs a little work  and the front end taking of and putting back on. .  and replacing  both sills as they have the dodgie wide one's bodged on,  looks like they have being on many many year but inner sills may need a little plate nothing huge.

Now that my mini Suzie has being kicked out of her garage for SAD.  Ill get some updated photos of the bad areas.  On a plus side,  both front and rear  subframes where new  and suffered a little rust, but they have being striped cleaned  painted.  Just on with making a big list of bits  to put them and the car back together with,  saves many trips to mini spares

Sounds good! Hopefully you won't find too much rust under those oversills. Still they should come off easy if they have only been bodged on.

My Mini's rear valance is only hanging on by the skin of its teeth and that was apparently fitted by a mini specialist!!

 

Cheers

I like the older colours like surf blue and fiesta yellow, closely followed by island blue and almond green, but if you want to go different look at some other colours, ford frozen white is quite bright and not sure what it would look like on a mini but mclaren orange is a good colour, but the choice is yours

I have always liked a Vauxhall colour called Scarab.

Its a Mica and looks almost black in some lights but dark green/Purple in others.
