I dunno, maybe I have bitten of more that I can chew or afford with my Clubbie.

Just got a quote of $1000.00 to reuphoslter the front and back seats and fit new headlining and then there will be the cost of a full paint job plus a new vinyl roof.

Also when I drive the beastie I get a lot of clutch shake when moving off and have probs changing up and down through the gears so maybe a new clutch or gearbox might be needed???

Just starting to wonder if it's worth the cost and effort to fix it all up or should I sell it now before I have to spend more.

Or am I just having a bad Mini day and I will get over it??

trim pricing is spot on. My trim work set me back $890, and that was front / rear seats only.

You'll get over it, just go for a drive in a hilly bendy area and you'll soon know it's all worth it 8) Btw you do realise that a vinyl roof is a rust trap and a half?

Well Harley, all I can tell you is all the seats will cost $750.00 and the roof lining will cost around $300.00 ..

Trouble with taking it for a drive Wolfman is that it sometimes wont go into gear and makes that horrible crunching sound when I try putting it in to a gear and that only upsets me more... And yep, do know the vinyl roof does cause rust on the roof as there is bit there now but I was told there is certain paint that can be sprayed on before putting the vinyl on and that should stop the vinyl from sweating.

I hear you! That's what JAM was doing, and still is to some degree.
