Hi guys,

I am looking to buy this mini, well I am thinking about it.

Just need some opinions on the rust. This is what im concerned about. How hard would it br to fix this rust?

The guy is taking more pics for me of the other bits of rust but can anyone give me an inidicitive idea of the repairs?

im not mechanically or car minded really but willing to give it a go, but just need to know if im wasting my time.

closer photos of the rust would help. Me for one, dislike roof gutter rust or is that leaf matter?

Its got less rust than mine...get yourself a good mig welder and do a weeks course to learn how to weld...if the underneath is good and floors etc it all depends on how much he wants...if it was me and it was cheap enough Id buy it

hes taking more photos for me in a minute.

at the moment he is asking 2,900, but im sure there is room to negotiate.

Ill post the updated pics when he sends them to me

Thanks all

Id offer $1500 and negotiate from there if you get it for 2 grand then I think that would be reasonable

Cheers mate,

I have got one in NSW for 3800 with no rust ( from what I can see) but mechanical is unknown and the person selling it doesnt know anything about it, but this one is in Melbourne.

once i get updated pics Ill put them up and see how I go

Are you buying one to play on and get experience or do you just want a cheap mini? If the later then i would spend more up front for a good one thats on the road. You will save yourself a lot of trouble, time and money. These things are money pits especially if you have to get outside assistance with painting and mechanicals.

Well its def got less rust than mine...check floors and sills as thats where most of them really rust and inside boot at the battery tray but any mini of that age unless its been restored will need welding so Id say no more than 2g.

Still has less rust than yours really?

How much would it cost to fix that rust up?

I would find something else
Thats some serious rust
