Minidave. I already know about the rust I have already cut part of the floor out and I am replacing the entire floor pan on the inside. I am also planning to pull both sub frames and sandblast and powder coat each one. After that is finished I and going to make a cross member to attach the two subframe together to stiffen things up a little. Then I'll redo all the brakes lines and bushings. I know I have my work cut out for me but my wife loves the car and I'll do everything I canto make it as safe as possible.

 

Like I said, I'm not trying to discourage you, just to give you a heads up of what to look for......

 

I I know and thank you. I know I have a lot of time and money to invest to get this little mini going again but the first drive will make it all worth it. Thank you for pointing out the problem areas for me I'll pay close attention to those spots.

 

I was rummaging around the forums and saw this post "Need Help With Wiring My Classic Mini" and as it just so happened, I was cleaning up our site and saw lots of articles and such about wiring. So, again, this might be WAY too late, but you never know.

Hope These Help:
