I bought my 1984 mini (I think its a mayfair but I'm not to sure) in Boston this past summer and trailered it down to my house in Long Island, NY. Since then I have been working on her trying to fix her up and working on any issues that pop up. It is RHD and a 4-speed. It has a 998cc A+ engine. I have had to replace a bunch of minor things such as windshield wiper motor, belt, discs and brake pads. several bushings, and a lot of bolts, which included a lot of fishing out bolts and re-tapping. So far here is my build starting from the beginning.
This is the beginning of my project!
You can really see some of the underlying rust in the front here.
Came with the car. I love the way they look.
So here I have been working on the paint for a month or so doing the front, then the back, then each side, and I'm finally on my last door here. I also got some new mirrors.
The car painted up for its temporary color. Im gonna do the real color during the springtime.
New clear glass indicators with orange bulb.
Im putting in new lower arms and tie-rods, all adjustable.
I got some new fog lights so i can see the road at night. I also got a roof rack so I can bring my bicycles around with me.
So there it is so far, I still have quite a ways to go with the rust and fixing up some of the body. I'm also putting in an RC40 exhaust system and replacing my 1-1/4" SU with a 1-1/2" SU carburetor very soon!
