heres some pics of the new wagon

Welcome..
Looks like your off to a great start!

Car looks sweet, got a pretty good collection by the sounds of it too!

Looks like there is a little rust, hopefully not too bad?

thanks guys, yeah its pretty rusty but non of it has gone right through yet.
mainly around the passenger side wheel arches and left hand side A pillar.
everything else is good and complete, interior is pretty dirty at the moment. still has a parcel shelf,central locking, pwr steering and cold air con
plan is remove nudge bar, replace mugen steering wheel with nardi classic, find some stud adapters so i can run some spare 14x7 mesh rims i have (need 4x100 to 4x114.3)

Discovered a full set of factory floor mats in the wagon today that were underneath some generic floor mats. Bonus
Also removed nudge bar

I'll get some pics of the minis up later:)
Update on the wagon. Speedo started to read 10kmph fast and when going over 80 it reads all over the place, im guessing the worm drive is dieing. Will a normal ef civic one fit a ee3? Also getting some clunks from the drivetrain, probably cv's? Stops clunking while creeping if the brakes are pressed .
Any info would be appreciated

Beautiful! There's an old British guy that lives in my neighborhood who used to race old minis. He's got a couple of very awesome mini race cars. Yours look pretty pristine!
