Picked this up off Jim there last Friday. Sweet little motor, and the open top for the weather we're having lately is the job! Just gave her a good clean on Sunday and only got around to taking some photos today! :mrgreen:

As per Mini rules it must rust! There are some bubbles starting up the front... Wings, scuttle, a panels and front panel... Going to try and get them sorted asap. The manifold is also blowing so I'm going to just get a stage 1 kit. Other then that its just a clean up, the interior itself is very clean just a good scrub wouldn't do any harm so I hope to wet and vac it in the next few days.

Got new pressed steel plates... Didn't really like the plastic look on the old ones, not much of a difference in the pictures but it is noticable!
