Description of 1966 Mini Classic Mini

I have a 1966 LHD mini with the latest twin point injection engine that was standard on the 97-00 models. This engine puts out significantly more power than any previous carb or single-point injected version. Cruises easily at highway speeds. Clear Indiana title. I've done a fair bit recently to get it back into shape including:

new maniflow exhaust
new battery
new fuel pump
new fuel sender
new fuel filter
new throttle position sensor
refinished the dash (in black)
oil/filter change.
new grill

It now starts reliably, runs and stops well, and shift through all gears fine. There are some small mechanical issues left. I have purchased every part that I think it needs to get it in tip top shape.

The engine stabilizers need attention. I have the bushings for these and new motor mounts which is probably not necessary but I was going to change anyway.
It does leak some oil. I have the driveshaft seals and gear change seal to fix that.
The suspension is awful, but I have a new coil spring kit with hi-los, knuckle joints, and shock absorbers (worth over $500).
Two tires are shot, two have decent life left. I have two new tires and a brand new 5th wheel for a spare.

The above could be tackled in a few days work. Cosmetic fixes is where the bulk of the work is. All gauges and lights work with the exception of a temp gauge. I didn't bother wiring that up yet as there would have been a clock instead in the spot above the radio and I had planned to find one of those.

Rust has gotten one of the sills quite badly, and I believe both outer sills need doing (I have these).
One A-panel looks like it needs replacing (I have this as well)
There is some very minor bubbling starting in the typical places that will need some attention before paint, but not bad at all and I don't think any other panels are needed
After the rust is sorted, it could use a respray. I have all the trim bits (badges, stripes, decals, roof gutter trim, windshield and rear window filler strips, new wheel arches and rivets)
The front seats need recovered or replaced. They're comfortable enough, but don't look great

Anyway, I don't really have the room for a toy car right now so I'd like to get it out of my garage so I can park my daily driver in there. The car is in good running shape now, so this work can be tackled as time allows. I tried my best to accurately represent this car. However, it is sold as-is and I highly suggest viewing it in person if at all possible.
