Re: im going to see!!
Great little things 
BUT look for rot - inner front wings / trumpet sections (strengthening section which runs from the A post towards the front of the car - difficult to view without the road wheel off) rear subframe and subframe mounting points just forward of the rear wheels / where the end of the sill terminates, sills, rear leading edge of front wings and around the headlights tend to rust through, floor pans where it joins the sills - but I think most parts / repair panels are available for the cars - what you really need is a solid body shell that requires a bit of tidying / mechanical work - good luck

Bon Voyage, Rich.
Oh sorry, I didn't have my reading specs on for that..
Good luck, they are cracking good cars, just make sure that they're not cracking where they shouldn't be.

SWEEEET, as long as it aint too rotten, I'd love to have my old 1300GT back though it was on its second shell even in 1988 and I dare say is no more 
Re: im going to see!!
Oh, you wanted advice, yes, if it ain't too rotten get it get it get it etc etc
Re: im going to see!!
I'd walk away from that, someone's put the steering wheel on the wrong side! 
Some people are like Slinkies - they serve no useful purpose, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them downstairs.
Re: im going to see!!
That's only a problem if they have left the peddles in the correct place. I realise BL had some quality issues but that would really be entertaining. Maybe an idea for Top Gear's next silly race.

Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

Re: im going to see!!
I often wondered about leaving a Belgian Metro half done to see whether anyone would notice, this back when the local Subaru dealers used to buy them in with LHD and convert them before putting them in the showrooms, used Subarus were impossible to find at the time and we had to sell something. If anything, the miniMetro was even easier to swap than a mini because there was more room to work. Far too easy for TG though, after all, why would you need the wheel directly in front of you? J
