If I had a MK1, I would keep it as it left the factory gates.

I have MK3 and fitted Metro seats front and rear, "Brilliant".

After driving my mini a lot this week. I'm contemplating a way I get get my heater to demist the side windows as well as the front. My only idea so far is to somehow re-channel the hot air into the eyeball vents so that it does both :/

Electric windows, central locking and decent alarm + immobiliser were first for me.
Next up was a heated windscreen- as I took the heater out... But will be going back in (well, a decent one will be.)

Going for fuel injection at some point.

Am in the process of making the rear windows electric, something that's been in my head for years, but now it's actually happening!

Not yet, but if it all works out I may put a kit together if there's any interest.

You can have mine then. Even with the heater valve/knob set to half, its like a sauna and end up having to drive with the widow open.
