In the end the choice is yours, I personally would drag it kicking and screaming into the modern world but without loosing all the classic mini traits

I dunno, I read and i look at examples and I cant make my mind up. Part of me says just refresh it so its like it was brand new and another part of me screams pimp it pimp it pimp it! So tell me what you think and why. Should I Restore my 72 leyland clubman 1100 to her former glory or give her a total overhaul and bring her into the 21st century? |

Plenty of time for everything. Do what you really want to do first, live out your other dreams in your second project. |

To answer to both of you , whatever way you decide to go with your cars make sure you keep any original bits you take off them (whether you replace them with a better orriginal part or a more modern accessory) so you can restore them to original spec later if you want . Have a look through the wanted section here at all the people looking for bits and pieces to finish resto's that previous owners (or themselves) have thrown out in the past . |

bring it up to date, but keep it looking like a mini! I mod mine, cause I have to. Better to see it modified than see it on the scrap heap. 45 years of neglect equals necessary mods! |
