mini pickup

Hey guys, I am the pround owner of a original 1981 mini pickup and I need some help with it. I picked up the truck in pieces and I want to restore it back to it's original shape. I have the subframes, a 850cc engine and transmission, and all the body besides the front clip. I was hoping anyone would have pictures of a original truck for me to go by and know of any places that sell the original frontend used or new. Thanks for any info.

R U familiar with the magazine Mini World from UK? Lot's of pictures - lots of supplier's adds.

A bit pricey but very useful. I've seen it on the shelf at better Barnes and Noble but decided to subscribe a couple of years ago. Had some one tell me they dropped it cuz it was months late in the states - I haven't been having that problem (now MC2 on the other hand )

http://www.miniworld.co.uk/

for example in the March issue I just rec'd: "a 10 year pickup project"
