Mmm repairable?? yes but would it be worth it well i don't think so. If you got it uber cheap then breaking it for any spares might be the only option i feel. It will do something for somebody so good luck to whomever wins it.

 

I just wonder what price you'd get for the spares from the car?

 

 

Who knows Carl but i keep looking at the even rustier GT shell sitting outside our workshop and i keep thinking " i could save that"

I think it is well worth saving personally.

 

But then, i think any Mini is worth saving.

 

Yes alot of work but does it really need much more than any other full resto? just the panels that you need to replace are a bit worse than normal, but none of those panels are unusual panels to replace.

If you look at the pic of the steering wheel close up, look at the front of the passenger door, there's a lot of greenery showing through

You would think so wouldn't you.

 

Honestly though, if i didn't have my 25 to do, i would take it on.

 

There is something about it.

 

My drivers door was hanging off like that when i got mine. Infact, it wasn't much better overall.

 

although i have never seen a bonnet rot so badly.
