This is the car I started with, it’s just taken us a while to get round to working on it. It’s a 1989 Mk4 Mini so there’s a lot of work required to convert it to resemble a 1960’s Mk1 Mini but I’m upto the challenge.
I guess my confusion is the car that was buried in the weeds did not look like it had that amount of body cancer where serious structural integrity was lost. That and the videos don't seem to convey a time table I can follow. That's why I thought you had an old Mk1, and it was rusted so bad that you looked for a newer auto to use as a main parts car. With the amount of corrosion seen in the videos, I assume that car came from part of the country where snow falls, and the highway department uses salt to 'plow' the snow away. They do that here where I live, too far south of where snow persists all winter long, here it melts after each snow fall, so salt is used as road ice is a problem.
