So starting to get all the trim, windows etc out tonight but just wanting people's thoughts on the rear wiper. It looks very standard to me and a couple people have commented on it possibly being a rare add on from new?
Thoughts please.

So I have spent this afternoon removing parts from the rear and see what the boot floor is looking like. Looks like the previous owner loved fibreglass to fill over the holes!!

Few pictures...

Congratulations mate. I would love to get my teeth stuck into this. great project!

 

I remember my old one looking at this, Was the same colour but not in such bad shape. I scrapped it though because at the time, Mini's were two a penny and i was only 15 and didn't have a clue what i was doing. The fact it had a hole in the floor doomed it for me!!

Wish i had retained the reg number now 'HKM 7V'

 

Look forward to updates on this.

 

Ben
