Hey,

the plans for my respray are well in swing, now all i need to buy are the following:
- New seams (covers?)
- A set of door hinges (both doors)
- New trim (plastic chrome) that runs down the side (wheel arch's and
beneath the doors)
- Bullet mirror
- mk 1 Cooper S badges (morris cooper s) bonnet and boot
- Moustache grill surround
- New Grill
- Bumpers with overriders and corner bars
- Steering coloum

Where is best?

Cheers

Us "old" folks shop around for a bargain. Have a look in the howto section for the list of sellers. Call them ask for the prices on the parts and choose the one you like.

Cheers

Aaro

I can definetely help you out with seam covers. And maybe steering column/grille bits. Otherwise you can find most of that other stuff at the places listed in the HowTo forum or even Ebay.

Ask your Father. ROFL

I'd just add that buying 4 new door hinges is not usually necessary, it's way cheaper to buy new hinge pins & bushes from one of the Mini parts purveyors.
I tend to use the one that starts witk `K.......'
They are not hard to fit- all you need is a BFH, a 1/4" pin punch, a block of hardwood, and a bench drill.

Don't try to fix them ON the car.......

<edit> you should also get the proper rubber gaskets that go between hinges and body/door...

And make sure you have the correct washers and angled spacers for the hinge studs inside your doors so that you are tightening the hinges at 90 degrees (to avoid rippling of the door skin around the hinges)
