Yep, first one is a petrol 306.
The handbrake cable one is pretty bad imo...never know when that might just snap.

No pics but I've seen a very loose and knocking ball joint with a jubilee clip round it.

Should have got a pic of the exhaust off an isuzu trooper i replaced yesterday, was more rust/holes/coat hanger/cable ties/drainpipe/leather/belt/tin foil than actual exhaust. Seriously though, tin foil and a leather belt, how were those going to help??

how about a home brew side thru exhaust,
![[Image: Picture009.jpg]](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c138/pugboy360/metros/Picture009.jpg)
![[Image: DSCF1375.jpg]](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c138/pugboy360/metros/DSCF1375.jpg)
sounded like a council grass cutter! laugh was the full system was a right miss match, he had used a rover 200 down pipe, and a metro gti decat section, it didn't have any silencers in at all.
I had to put a peashooter on the back to get it to quieten down.

Held together with some sort of foil repair tape and a whole lot of exhaust paste. Didn't last long.

Most minis that have been "restored" are home to some horrific bodging..... New floor plans spot welded over the top of the original rotten floor, sills glued to rot with filler, whole sections of the inner wings made from silicone painted over to hide it...
Pretty funny stuff as long as it's not your own car

On my d turbo, my drivers headlight bulb holder (the plastic ring that clips onto the back of the lens itself) kept coming off as soon as i put the bulb retaining clip in place, so i got a bit of cardboard, wrapped it in electrical tape and jammed it in place, lasted about 8 months before i finally decided to fix it using bonding

that's one of the reasons I wont own a mini, 2k plus for a restored example, yeah right, one of the worst cars for make up jobs.
My auntie bought a classic mini a 10 years ago now, she bought the injection model to replace her carbd one. The new one, had a few rust patches, so she got it sorted, by a family friend, He said it was the car was just full of filler, and a bit of a time and a half to sort it out.

I think if I went for a mini I'd have to buy a rolling shell and get it dipped, but that's all mega-money and I already have a nearly 18 year old car to throw fistfuls of change at.

Worst one can think of the top of my head is changing the brake discs on a friends mondeo, he would replace the pads or get the rewind tool. So instead the piston just can smashed a few times and the pads smacked on to make fit. His logic was "pads will wear away soon enough so it'll b rite"
Driving to asda saw the brakes reaching near nuclear levels of heat I told him though to do the job properly

That's why I'd buy a rolling shell that wasn't made of filler, make sure everything is sorted on it properly, and then get it dipped and treated etc. Then I would feel confident that I had a good base to build one on.
However, if I was spending that kind of money it wouldn't be on a mini.

My battery tray fell apart on my old golf. Tied a nice bit of blue string in a bow round the battery to 'secure' it. For some reason it failed it's MOT

I once used 2 jubilee clips instead of a gen peugeot exhaust clamp.
I used electrical wire to hold up the exhaust on my 325tds.
I held a FMIC on with cable ties.
I held a different FMIC on with blue rope.
I held a bumper and headlight on with cable ties.
I've repaired chassis damage on more than 1 care by tying it to a lamp post and reversing.
I repaired a leaky rad with a dollop of fiberglass as that was the first thing that came to hand.
My PAS pump leaked so I removed the system.
I split an exhaust so I split a couple of beer cans and wrapped them round then jubilee clipped them.
I had a fuel leak that I couldn't be bothered to fix, I covered the pump in black silicone
I had an oil leak i couldn't be bothered to fix, I covered it in black silicone.
I'm sure theres loads and loads more that you'll all remind me of
