I was recommended by minifix to a guy named Dave in Clontarf. He is very reasonably priced and the work I was really pleased with.
Cost me 700 euro to have the rust removed, refurbished the right hand door, new left side door+sprayed, new boot lid+sprayed, new rear valence+sprayed sportspack replica arches also sprayed. He is good, if you would like his number just lemme know.

I saw a mini yesterday I was considering buying. A blue 1.3...It had no NCT and a few other problems. I decided not to buy it.
My own mini I love and am torn between getting a new one or sticking with my own. I think sticking with my own is going to be best for now with all the work done to her.

Or,

You could get the engine changed and whatever else you dont like :)

How much was the 1.3 without the NCT?
