How do you know it is a 2 speed wiper?

Also has extensions on the light and wiper switch plus a cold air intake pipe for the heater. :)

Looks just like my engine bay?

I know that car, he has owned that for years. He lives in the Blue Mountains. It was almost a twin of my car! His car has had a hard life but not as hard as mine!

This was my Cooper S when I got it in about 1981..

And how it looks now....

And you're saying HIS car has hard a life. :)

If I remember correctly, the owner of that mini drives to Mt Panorama every year for the races from the Blue Mountains, and in 2006 he just happened to spot a load of minis parked on the side of the road and decided stop by for a chat.

Cheers

He's gonna get jagged on a rusty edge and get tetanus.

It is like watching a small child dying of cancer! Can it be saved or is it terminal?

Whats wrong with it? It still drives. There is no rust in the floors. There is no rust in the spare wheel well or the battery box.
It just needs a lick of paint.
