another mini to the collection its a mini piccadilly it was my old mans friend and was just sitting in the garage so we come to a deal and had it we had a problem with the headlights as they wouldn't work so checked all earths and positives and there was not any power going to them so we went to change the fuse box and the wires behind where corroded so we put new clips and soldered them together and now she lives just need to put new carpets in as they got soaked of window leak so we changed the rear glass rubber it has had an exhaust system and carbrettor tuned so will be changed to standard want it to look as if it was when it was new also only 14000 miles on the clock and 2 owners from new with lots off paperwork bonus. here is some pictures comments welcome thanks tom
