Saw that Mini on Donedeal during the week. Seems like a good honest motor and its known to club members which is always a good thing. The ad showed a few spots of rust which is nothing unusual.

Well wear and honestly, if I was you I would definitely keep it. I don't reckon you will regret doing the work on it.

saw this for sale on the vagdrivers site.
Nice little car, best of luck with it!

If you need anything for the car i'm sure someone on here will have whatever you're looking for.

One word of advice, if your gonna fully respray the car, be certain you get rid of all the rust before doing so.
I learned the hard way and i thought it was all gone :(
