I'm currently restoring a 62 cooper, I have cut most of the cancer out and I need some more reputable contacts in Adelaide area , for sand blasting, rust (that the sand blaster uncovers), and etch primed.
so far I have 1310cc donk, 8.4" discs, adjustible suspension ready to go.

PLEASE restore it back to original Cooper's are rare as, stick your motor & bigbrakes into another body, let the cooper live as it should.

so far i have heard of no recommended place to repair rust or even paint a mini...
no mini place in adelaide will recommend anyone!

just by fixing it up and saving it from the tip you are doing the cooper a service!
keep her alive, with 1310 or whatever you want.
