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 ?

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
