Thought this may provide some easy typing.
What are some of the things you found when you dragged your mini home, that weren't factory fitted. Here's what I got:

25 cents
Gold watch
300ml of magnetec oil
500ml of fuel additive
Small shifters
Assorted nuts n bolts
A small black cushion
Spare carpet

What have you all found?

Little dangly, tear droped shaped purple things,
and 'a bit' not much, of rust under the right rear bumper didnt even see it till 6 months after got the mini
umm
Found lots of grated gear shavings when un-plugged the sump plug
Found brakes slowy decrease to nothing
Found how hazardous driving in raid in mini is.
umm more not factory fitted, well the oil around the engine is getting heaps more clogged up must clean
Found she likes to overheat when, water is lacking from radiator.
that will do.

Bit she still goes like a wepon, and everyone loves it

A handful of gravel in the rocker gear... yet to find out if the engine ran after the gravel was put in. I don't think it did, so may not be damaged (Egine was out of the car when I bought it).

When I picked my two minis up the insides of the cars were filled with parts, parts and more parts I opened one of the doors and a fuel tank fell out!

The van - 7/16 sidchrome socket in the door, lots of spares.
The Moke - zilch - it was a bare shell.
The Traveller - old rego papers, lots of bits and pieces. I haven't really gone through every nook and cranny yet.

Max Sherry (Mini Mac) told me he bought a Clubby once for wrecking for $50 and found over $200 in gold coins under the carpet, under the back seat and in the side pockets.

finding the rego papers is always cause for celebration

Various working/nonworking pens

something white & sticky that I hope was a Mintie

Oh, and a pocket knife that I soon lost anyway (isn't that what they are for?).
