Sound advice Abri, thanks.
The intention isn't to restore it - I'm not that fond of Clubmans, it's so that I have at least one running Mini, and possibly as a backup car for one of the kids to use while at varsity. My daily ride is also quite high mileage and having a spare running car is useful if something needs doing on that - takes the time pressure off.
All I'd want to do is remove the bull bar (and set the winch up as an engine hoist), replace the bumpers, stop the rust on the rear panel from spreading and replace the bonnet lid if I can fine one cheaply. Obviously I'd need to fiddle with the wiring, but that doesn't scare me, I'm happy to tackle that, and any mechanical stuff.
There's way too much work to do on my Mk1 to be distracted by another project car.
