Hey man, you are doing an awesome job. I just bought a 1987 mini and plan on doing a resto on it, just not too sure where to start besides stripping all the parts out of the interior . When I bought the car the owner told me that the only thing it needed to run was a new head gasket and steering bolted back together?! Keep up the great work.

Thanks for the nice comments.
People selling Minis always seem to use the term "all it needs" and it always turns out to be a lot more than they say
