Hi guys,
It really does pain me to do this as I've owned the car for 10 years now, but it just isn't getting sorted and I'm clocking up so many miles now I need something modern and fuel efficent unfortunatly.
It is a standard (well, a few small things here and there) 1994 Mini 35 limited edition. I brought it 10 years ago and spent a small fortune on it. Since I've had it it's had a load of new panels due to rust, a new floor, full respray with a trusted mini specialest, new newton commercial molded carpet, new chrome bits, full stainless steel exhaust, stage one, and I'm sure there are loads of other bits. The file I have for it is about 2" thick of recepts, notes of work carried out, pictures, etc.
Back in 2006 it came 8th in Best Mini in the UK at the IMM at Hop Farm in Kent.
Unfortunatly, when I moved into my house I put it in the garage after failing the MOT (indicator wasn't working on the nearside front and immisions too high due to exhaust). It has sat there since. I did have some motivation a while ago and brought loads of new bits. The screen has a chip so I brought a brand new one plus fitting kit and chrome strip, etc. Brakes, pads, hoses, handbrake cable and pivot things as the handbrake was stuck on. Started on the brakes but got as far as taking the drum off and fiddling round with it.
I've been out of the Mini scene since then so I really do have no idea what a good starting figure would be for it. Can anyone advise me please?
Have some photos too

This is the last photo I have when the motivation kicked in:
Basicly it's the same as above now but a bit dusty from being stored.
