Update 13/10/2014

Last weekend only saw a few hours on the mini
Seats unbolted, seatbelts removed, steering wheel removed

Attempted door removal but inner wing bolts very corroded so may have to wait until front wheels off and access easier

Now need to clear inside  and get out all fittings before I think about lifting the engine, dropping the subframes and tripping all the way back . . .

I've started (at last)

At last today we started!

My son got very excited as I introduced him to Barrier cream and Swarfega!

Today we have got the front and rear bumpers off, the bonnet off, number plates, the rear doors & hinges off and the rear lights:
Obviously used to be a yellow clubman before someone sprayed it very badly black!

Most the Chrome is off

Rear Doors and Bonnet off

Starting to look a little bare!

Looking forward to trying to get the front doors off next week - looked at this briefly today but could not work it out - later read the Haynes manual and think I know how to do this. . . .
