Finally got something!

Greetings folks.

Time to stop lurking and start posting more.
I yesterday closed the deal on a small, yellow 1100 Clubman ( https://i.imgur.com/zN9EFLE.jpg ).
I cannot remember it's age or much else about it's history other than I'm the 3rd owner, yesterday is a bit of a blur.

So I actually went to go look at a 1275, but there was more work left on it than I had money for. Fortunately for me, the guy had a second mini he bought off his supervisor (original owner), and then finally settled for me taking that off his hands.

Now comes the tricky part for me;
-The brakes are terrible (got a master cylinder brake repair kit with). I'll upgrade to disks in future.
-It's not gone through roadworthy in recent years.
-I'm told the license is paid but not issued because of road worthy certificate is missing (But I do have the papers and 1 plate on the back)
-The entire engine bay is coated in soot and petrol from a hole in the exhaust somewhere, suspected the manifold from a flexing engine and many years of use.
-Interior needs to be addressed, but no rust on the floor pan
-Aged window rubbers, probably needs replacing after a respray
-Surface rust in multiple places, so I'm hoping to get a quote on having it sanded, treated and resprayed.
-Might have to replace the bonnet, the left side (facing the car) is very rusted
-It has a racing steering wheel, I'll probably swap that out as well.

My plans/priority order:
-Fix brakes
-Get it through roadworthy and apply new license plates (and pray that the license actually has been paid for)
-Get insurance and a tracker
-use it until I get time to take the engine and seats out, have everything cleaned off and the shell given rust treatment and a fresh coat of paint.

I'll take some more pictures tonight after work and upload tomorrow morning.
