On Saturday i'm going out to purchase my first Mini. , and from i've been told from the guy that is selling it, its preety good. So my question is what important areas which are damage prone do i need to look out for? eg. rear subframe whatever. Also i evenually want to make it a flip front how much does it cost, doing it yourself. Finally, how much does a good reco 998 go for these days?

Cheers

what part of sydney are you in i could offer my seveces to have a scan for you

Makka you by any chance live in blacktown?

It's a fibreglass roundie front, not clubbie. Black_Van will have a clubbie flip front for sale, if you ask him nicely.
