MD-IN-UK's 1974 Austin Mini Is this cheap or what? This fog light bracket looks as if it were made from a beer can. No! I tell a lie, a beer can is probably thicker.

MD-IN-UK's 1974 Austin Mini This is usually a problem area for classics. This one however, looks pretty sound.

MD-IN-UK's 1974 Austin Mini The same for this side too.

MD-IN-UK's 1974 Austin Mini No problems here either.

MD-IN-UK's 1974 Austin Mini I just like this picture. There's also a very small dent in the left side of the hood.

MD-IN-UK's 1974 Austin Mini Although the glass looks good, I'll be replacing the windshield as well. I will try to keep that MOT sticker jacket for the new glass as well. Just a touch of British stuff Ya know.

MD-IN-UK's 1974 Austin Mini New wheel arches will be ordered soon as these have too many splits in them to be put back on. Note the 95RON window sticker. That's the fuel type required in this cars homeland, it's placed near the fuel tank inlet, so you won't forget when you get to the pumps.

MD-IN-UK's 1974 Austin Mini This is the right rocker in front of the rear wheel. Very nice. Now lets look at the same a bit further forward.

Very sweet mini! I love the progress pics! And the blue checkers on the sides is a first! I can only hope that my mini will look half as nice when it's done.
