Thanks carboy!

Sorry about the loud buzzer surprise!

I'm thinking of selling before the sills start to fall off her, within 2 years she'll def need a good welding session.... it's a bit disheartening after only doing it 3 years ago!

The wiring isn't so bad once you go through it all wire by wire! I'm glad I did now, I understand how it works finally! It could certainly be improved with a modern fusebox and loads of relays.

Anyone know what this would be worth?

Not a clue considering how much time and effort you've put into this! Just read through the whole thread and it's really something.

 

One thing I notice about mini's and the prices of them is that they're totally unpredictable. Look at similar ones and ask what you want for it it based around that, advertise it well and be patient and you'll get a decent price I'm sure!

Hi, thanks for the reply.

 

Ideally i'd like to keep it, but unfortunately it's not as easy as that, I'll be going away to uni again for 4/5 years, and I'll have to lay the car up. It's already got a nasty hole in it, which was unexpected so soon after a full restoration and it's breaking my heart after all the work that went into it.

 

I'm quite capable of fixing the hole, but the car is also showing signs of rot in the usual spots. I'd be tempted to tear the whole front end of her and do it all again, and reconstruct the a pillars properly so I can actually have check straps. While also removing the rear bins and seat, and filling up all the unwanted holes on the bulkhead. But where do I find the time?
