Description of 1980 Mini Classic Mini

This 1983 mini was imported from england about 8 years ago. It has all the trimmings of a 1993 mini. 1275 motor and from the looks of it. it has a metro head (better compression) the person i purchased it off of. spent a great deal of money getting it here. at when it arrived he didn't fit. he's well over 6 ft 3 inches and weighs over 350 lbs. The thought was nice but the functionality didn't work out quite so well. He parked it in a garage and it sat for about 2 years. I convinced him to not let it go to waste as i love minis and this was my second one. I've had this thing for a little over a year (title says issued to me in june 2014. but that was when i registered it) I brought this thing back to life. It ran fine before i got to it. but i've changed mounts. oils . started overhauling the electrical as who ever had this before him really chopped it up. That is why the dash is not in place. The gas gauge wasn't working so i took it apart and started putting things back together. I fixed gauge. The manifold clamp came off. so i welded the manifold and down pipe and cut the down pipe by the bracket that holds the muffler under the car. as it was easier to reach there than behind motor. I haven't gotten around to having it welded but that can be done quickly and cheaply. then the exhaust system will be fine (not show room but no rust or holes through out) the interior is in good shape no tears and headlining is great. the body of this car leaves somethings to be desired. and by that i mean paint. there are a few small bubbly spots but no rust. the 2 bad spots are drivers side floor pan and a little bit in the trunk. I don't have rear bumper on it as it was nicked and was planning on changing. The car starts right up and is in a garage out of the elements. it's insured so all rides are welcomed. I will negotiate with this as much as i can. But i will by no means give this away. it is maybe a spruce up away (ok and a paint job) from being bad ass. And with my starting price alone that leaves plenty of room for investing 2 grand maybe if that and having a really nice mini. In NYC you will not find another mini for my price and condition. I scour the internet and cragislit and everything else. I love these cars and when one pops up in my area i'm on it. I HATE TO SELL THIS. but a i have to. I will rearange what i have to in order to keep this car if i must so again i'd love to make a deal but I just couldn't justify giving this thing away. any questions feel free ask. shoot me your number or email and we can talk more. I'm in jamaica queens. and am willing to help in how ever i can. I take great pictures so they are better than the car. but they are an accurate description of vehicle
