Waxoyl in all the cavities and a buggerload of underseal, well applied.

For optimum rust-prevention you could strip it to a bare shell and have it galvanised, but christ knows what that would cost.. Be bloody effective though (and is what Rover should have done from the factory)

a few minis that i know have had panels replaced and then a respray do seem to suffer from rust coming through and fairly quickly, particularly around joins. Bits i have touched in on my car also seems to rust again, probably due to a failure to complete remove all affected metal. Mositure gets in all the seams and under loose paint/underseal. Probably much patience, diligence and reading the mini restoration manual is required.

The first and most obvious have been said, waxoyl and gavanising.

if your feeling very big weight in your pocket you can get fibreglass bodies and replacement part eg doors bootlid etc

Or if you love it so much you could try and get BMH to build you one from stainless! God know what it would cost though!

The honest answer is you cant

Try and find some Tectyl. tis is apparently better than Waxoyl.

Steer clear of underseal too, it can trap moisture. Stonechip and paint over as well as regular de-mudding of problem areas.
