As It says in the title, I'm not sure wether to try and carry on building my mini up or just break it down for bits, would anyone be interested in any bits ? Would preferable like a lot of interest before I agree to selling it for parts

Some of the main bits that I have are,
2 998 engines
classic cobra seats(front)
Seats that came out of the mini originally(front and back)
New centre console
Door cards and quarter panel cards
Boot liner kit
4 12x6 revolutions that need a refurb
Tartan red paint to paint a whole mini(with everything needed to prep/prime)
The shell(not much work needed on it, just needs boot repair section, valance etc)
Twin HS2 carb setup
Doors
2 core radiator

Always a shame to see a project not completed and being considered for breaking up :-( but embarking on a restoration and seeing it through is not easy granted, I've taken over my Son's!! Iv'e tried to save money wherever I can as its a hobby, most of my outlay to be honest has gone on tools and consumables :-) If you do decide to break and sell I'm sure you'll get rid of most on here or ebay?

 

If you do sell up what heads do the 998's have leaded or unleaded? And what colour is the centre console and door cards?

Here is a picture of the steering wheel, I haven't got a close up one but can get one if your interested ! Black steering wheel with red stitching - like new (I suppose this is worthless to you as your looking for the boss)

Money is the problem at the moment ! I'm not short of it, just trying to buy another car as my daily !!

Centre console is plain black, door cards are black with red stitching
