Some interesting things that have been done to this car . . . Glad you're getting it sorted.

Good to see you making progress. It's a real eye opener when you do a strip down and see the actual state of some components.
RE: Mini Novice... - _freak_ - 04-19-2016
Just wish i had more time to work on this... cant wait to drive this...

Well done! Looks like you're the first one in a very long time who's taking care of the car as it deserves to be taken care of! Welding a piece of metal to a bolt to hang an exhaust on....that guy needs a snotklap!
