Not too bad, new wing, new a-panel and treat the rust on the bulkhead properly and Robert's your paternal parents male sibling.

In fact, I reckon you'd get way with stripping the paint and using some rust converting stuff and respray it.

On a GAH scale, with 10 being the most GAAAAAAAAAH

How bad is this rust on this mini?

I think you'll find the panel will drop off when you remove the sticker

My mate's got one that has a hole about 7" x 3" big, he calls it an "Air Intake"...

Its due to go into bodyshop to get totally re-done... If I can then I'll get a pic of it before its sorted!!

Cheers,

Not as bad as some I've repaired, do a proper job, don't hide rust, it bites back bigger and harder!!

You call that rust. For any mini that is pretty good. I've owned and MOT'd an awful lot worse. £15.00 for a wing and £5.00 for an A-Panel and away you go. It would be worth checking the Hinge panel and floor if you haven't already as these usually go long before the wings.

Happy Mini'ing
