That project 1275 S looks like a 998cc Cooper with a 120 speedo? Otherwise why go to the trouble of removing the front s disks so you can fit reverse rims....?

And remove the forged rockers and replace with pressed. The extra head stud and bolt obliviously fell out. :D :D

The green cooper looks ok on the face of it but from what I can see the repairs on the floor pan definitely leave a lot to be desired. I think I'd want crisper lines than that for my £32K

Converted to dry as well, but does that really matter value wise these days ?

I see it as a plus, maybe I am on my own with that though ?

Hydro fine if you have the proper pump. I don't but did make one out of a bottle jack and a lawnmower fuel tank many years ago. My mk2 is now on dry suspension.

What are those weird 6 vent sills? Are they oversills with holes drilled, above the lowest drain point?!

I reckon that is exactly what they are :o Terrible standard of work at that price isn't it? Just makes you wonder what other corners have been cut.

Those outer sills are really odd looking things. Looks like it's had a dustbin lid glued in place of the spare wheel well and the battery box looks like its been wrapped in Papier Mache before being doused in gravitex :lol:
Wonder if it actually sold or if it was just the listing had ended?
