I frown upon it as it is Tech "Ringing" unless using a BMH shell

but looks tidy enough

I think if you are going to reshell, use one around the same age as the car. The one I have is a year later than the original so there's absolutely no difference in it. But obviously slapping a tax exempt logbook on an mpi is going to raise many suspicions...

Minis have been reshelled and messed with since probably 1960 when they first went rusty. Nothing to get hung up about unless the buyer believes it to be a mk 2 shell hes buying
Would look a lot better if the car was trimmed consistently as either a mk1/2or 3 rather than a mish mash of all three

Exactly dazibee aslong as next owner knows what hes buying then no harm, also if youve got a complete but well past it mini and you also have a good shell and transfer everything over including i.d whats so wrong in that? Theres other sides of things where a mini is built up using an i.d less shell and then when it comes to getting i.d to register it why not choose something tax free

I wasn't referring to the reshell. More the turbo set up.

I see what you are talking about the turbo looks to be sitting above the clutch housing.
