Considering I am still waiting to get the body back from the panel beater, the following are probably not MODs, just some of the things I am planning to do with it.
In no particular order:
1. Have the shell painted "Crimson Maple" metallic Burgundy
2. Fit Hi-Lo's, GAZ shocks and the springs (to replace the dohnuts) that are sitting in the box they came in from England
3. Get the 1275 out of the 1100S, get it detailed and then put into the beast
4. Chrome bits and pieces in the engine bay (have already done dash pots off the twin 1 1/4's and they look awesome.
5. Get disc brake conversion done on front
6. Get charcoal dashboard and fit (the one that you can get from Mini Spares England, I just have to find where to get one here)
7. Put on 12 x 5 Superlites with Yokohama 165 60 12 rubber
8. Transfer retrimmed seats from Clubby and finish interior
9. Find some nice speakers and fit along with JVC MP3 head unit that I have new in box
10. Get windows tinted
Then I might sit down and try to prioritise the other 1500 things I will need to do before it is finished and I can enjoy it.

5. Drop in a 1275.
6. Weber.
7. Replace/repair seats, whichever I feel like at the time :P
8. Fix passenger side lock, so it can actually be opened from the outside.
9. Repair/replace the dash, wire up tacho.
10. Replace JVC sound system with something a little more fun.
