Gathering together prices for initial works. Strip car down to bare chassis, send away to have all paint and underseal removed, assess body thereafter . Gearbox although works very well, do have a syncro weakness. I'll also have Quaife LSD fitted whilst the gearbox is being serviced.
Suspension is tired and could do with replacing. Brakes are fine, but will change out lines and hoses. That will be done as part of restoration.
Engine runs well, we hit some quick speeds, with no issues, so other than a compression test and new seals I can't see it needing anything major required.
I will use the Mini this summer for local trips when weather is good.
