I think the Cooper 35 LE model is the most beautiful Mini produced after they discontinued 10" wheels. Almond Green is a beautiful colour -- retro but not silly-looking, and the black minilights look way better than the normal ones (although obviously not as nice as the plastic hubcaps on my Sprite!). Love those arches too, and the lack of bonnet stripes.
Congratulations, I'm very very jealous!
Are you going to keep it exactly as standard? Much rust? Have you checked your headlamp bezel rings yet
Please don't change the indicator lenses though -- I saw a Cooper 35LE in a magazine once with clear lenses and it looked horrible -- completely not in keeping with the rest of the car
(having said that I don't like clear lenses in general -- remind me of a Honda Civic, but I know some people think they're class!)
When I win the lotto I want my mini to look exactly like yours!
