Well I gone and done it again I bought another Mini. This time I wont be selling it! 

overview:

its a mini 

the plates are on hold!

it hasnt been on the road since 2003!

and its got some rust! 

I bought from a fella down in the catlins, what you see here is all It has Im guessing it was used a a bit of a parts car.

Its going to be a big job and its going to take forever to do it 

 its got a 998 motor however its not the original donk! plan is to see if i can get it going and go from there on wether I tickle the motor up turbo 998s are what the poms are doing these days so that may be where I go with this

cheers for now

So Mrs Wylde poked the rusty bits until they became holes

we then decided to pull the rear window out

what we saw afterwards was pretty ugly

rear cantrail is rusted out ! 

Will be needing a rear roof cut off another car for this.
