1966 Classic mini cooper LHD with MPI engine

1966 Mini Classic Mini

I have a 1966 LHD mini with the latest twin point injection engine that was standard on the 97-00 models. This engine puts out significantly more power than any previous carb or single-point injected version. Cruises easily at highway speeds. Clear Indiana title. I've done a fair bit recently to get it back into shape including:

• new maniflow exhaust
• new battery
• new fuel pump
• new fuel sender
• new fuel filter
• new throttle position sensor
• refinished the dash (in black)
• oil/filter change.
• new grill

It now starts reliably, runs and stops well, and shift through all gears fine. There are some small mechanical issues left. I have purchased every part that I think it needs to get it in tip top shape.

• The engine stabilizers need attention. I have the bushings for these and new motor mounts which is probably not necessary but I was going to change anyway.
• It does leak some oil. I have the driveshaft seals and gear change seal to fix that.
• The suspension is awful, but I have a new coil spring kit with hi-los, knuckle joints, and shock absorbers (worth over $500).
• Two tires are shot, two have decent life left. I have two new tires and a brand new 5th wheel for a spare.

The above could be tackled in a few days work. Cosmetic fixes is where the bulk of the work is. All gauges and lights work with the exception of a temp gauge. I didn't bother wiring that up yet as there would have been a clock instead in the spot above the radio and I had planned to find one of those.

• Rust has gotten one of the sills quite badly, and I believe both outer sills need doing (I have these).
• One A-panel looks like it needs replacing (I have this as well)
• There is some very minor bubbling starting in the typical places that will need some attention before paint, but not bad at all and I don't think any other panels are needed
• After the rust is sorted, it could use a respray. I have all the trim bits (badges, stripes, decals, roof gutter trim, windshield and rear window filler strips, new wheel arches and rivets)
• The front seats need recovered or replaced. They're comfortable enough, but don't look great

Anyway, I don't really have the room for a toy car right now so I'd like to get it out of my garage so I can park my daily driver in there. The car is in good running shape now, so this work can be tackled as time allows. I tried my best to accurately represent this car. However, it is sold as-is and I highly suggest viewing it in person if at all possible.
