I started work on a 1985 mini for my first car last year. I am 16 at the moment and hope to finish the project before my 17th birthday in August 2018. I am doing all the work myself including bodywork and paint. I've already ran into a few problems and thought this would be the ideal place for me to share progress on the project but to also ask for help on any future problems I encounter. Here are some pictures of the car when i bought it and a few since.

Looks a good project, my first mini was a 1985 city started off red/pink and ended up as a fat and wide boy racers dream.

 

are you sticking with the fat arches ?

 No the arches have already come off but I will hopefully get some nicer miglia arches when its finished.

Having some trouble with rebuilding my brake master cylinder (GMC227). I've managed to remove the first piston but am struggling with the second one. I have a rebuild kit with new seals but cant get the second piston out to replace the seals. Hope someone can help, thanks
