This early front (nose) panel will fit any Mini manufactured before 1976 (Mk I, II or III). It is probably easier to replace the entire panel than to repair a damaged one, especially if it's been hit more than once! Later Minis, with rubber mounted subframes, use panel MS4L.
The panel is essentially the Mk III panel and has the brake cooling cutouts on the valence, the vertical bar as a grille support, wide brackets for mounting the license plate/registration number and the teardrop shaped opening for the fresh air intake behind where the grille mounts.

Note: This panel normally comes without  factory primer applied.

Snarkey - Chapter Five
Created: November 27, 2013
What was salvageable from the original shell amounted to a roof, part of the door frames, the rear panel, rear side panels and the seat brace.  At this point, you anoraks can all chime it as to what constitutes a re-shell vs. panel repairs.  But I had a decision to make; punt or go for the first down.

I started tack welding the shell back together in November and it’s now early March. I mightbe half way done. To say it’s been slow going would be an understatement. To restore a shell, you’ll need some metal frameworkto hold the floor pan otherwise you’ll be using wooden 4 x 4’s - which tend to...

Restoration of a Classic Mini Cooper continues in this Chapter 3 of the story. Earlier this month was Election Day 2012 and it was a nail biter. The day before was historic too but for different reasons.
