After a long wait I've finally got my Mk 1 shell. Good starting point for a new project, but I'm undecided whether it will be a track car or a road car, and whether it will be blue or grey. |

just athought but you would probably know this anyway....a preventative measure...the mk1 shells have an overlap from the floor to the bulkhead, unfortunately they have the overlap so the floor bit goes over the bulkhead (ie water can run inside the car from the engine bay !) if or when you pull the engine out, prior to any paint run seam sealer along this overlap and your foot wells will last a whole bunch longer..... they changed this on the mk2 (its another way apart from the rear lights to tell if you have a mk1 or mk2 sheel when you are buying Edited by Richie on 4th Dec, 2005.

just a thought for you mate :) This just apply for 59 cars, possibly early 60 cars. Later Mk1s were the same as any other "new" Mini. On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:
Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem. |
