Thats absolutely brilliant. Its something I've always wanted to do. Yeah make sure you get a Cooper engine in it and some bucket seats.
What year is it? It looks like a recent one.

join your local mini club,you'll get loads advice from fellow mini owners.and you be able to buy cheap parts.
oh and if you see another mini driver whilst driving,give em a wave! all mini drivers seem to do it
