i am thinking of getting a mini to restore and was thinking about getting a pick up model and was wondering if the front end of a standard mini would go with it

Yep but won't look as cool as the pick up front end...

Somerfords keep all the panels from Heritage to rebuild the front end

If you can find one an excellent restoration project, regret selling mine . Try MiniMachine in Darlington for repair/body panels When I wanted a front panel no one else could help . Heritage may now do them , if they do the may be on original tooling.

Someone on my estate is restoring A Mini pickup it sits outside his house on bricks.
Such a shame.

Since the lovely people at BMW decided they wanted to use the Mini name exclusively they are now called M-Machine. I think shops also sell M-skirts and similar

Unfortunatly it was a few years ago I dealt with them , excellent service at that time . Should have realised name would change after BMW
