Finally got something!

Congratulations on the purchase! It actually looks quite original in the photo. If I were you, I'd try to preserve the original seat material and interior trim as finding original parts is getting quite rare.

A disc brake upgrade is definitely worth considering, but if you'd like to keep your 10" wheels (which is also recommended), then you'd need to source a 7.5" disc brake kit. Also, many people report that drum brakes actually work really well if maintained properly, so discs may not even be necessary.

There is a supplier of glass fibre bonnets for a Clubman, although one of the local Mini spares suppliers might have an old straight bonnet for you.

The leather on the driver and passenger seats have torn, maybe they can be resewn? Most of the upholstry just needs a desperate clean after the car stood still for 7 years.
When I get to have the rust removed and the car sprayed (as close to the original color) I'll try save as much of the trim and interior as I can, but the back windows will need to be removed to get to the rust under the rubbers, in which case might as well remove all the glass.
I should most likely also replace all the window and door seals after the paint job, I don't know how well it will seal when refitted.

I doubt I'll be able to afford disks any time soon, but is this (C-AJJ4028MS minispares) the kit I'd have to get, or is there a less expensive alternative like a Nissan 1400 bakkie brakes?
Oh, I can only pull the handbrake 3 clicks, that's working perfect.

So the guy I purchased her from is more concerned with the performance of the minis he's been working on the last few years, and put HILO shocks on the front. I will probably have them raised some so I don't come to a halt driving over a speedbump.

There is so much work to do I'm trying to make small manegable projects like getting a large pan to put under the engine bay before I clean the engine. Don't want that oil to stain the garage floor, and no place outside to make such a mess.

In my flu-fighting body staying home today I did manage to fix the passenger seat by re-bolting the seat to the front hinge.
