Got the estate in the garage now! Finally had a look round it! The bodywork is in great condition, although there are a few areas the need attention/changing! The guys who cut the front end off for the flip-front conversion seemed to do a great job as far as i can tell! Very very neat cuts! :tongue:

Want some pics?

[Pooky]

Back end! :tongue:

[Pooky]

The interior is currently full of spares, carpet and sound deadening! I've had a bit of a glimpse through it and there's bits like air ducts, headlights, loads of nuts and bolts, clutch cylinder, engine steady etc etc! :saywhat: Loving the original brown interior :wink:

cool :cool:

Here's the front, haven't had a look at it on the car yet but i'll do that later! Still chuffed with the rear doors! They open! :tongue:

[Pooky]

Some of the bad bits now, this is the offside window. i think there's supposed to be a metal channel that the window runs through but its rotten away! I guess the water just sits in there!

[Pooky]

near side! there's a rust hole here that i'm concerned about! I don't know how easy its gonna be to repair. I've considered just cutting out the rust and turning it into a van but i'd rather keep it as an estate!

[Bluemini]

That front end is going to be very heavy with the inner wings still attached, get em cut off!!!

[miniallsort]

[Pooky]

Will do! :grin:

If anyone's got any other tips like that just let me know! :cool:

sweet Pooky! your garage looks alot like mine at the moment in the sense that I have two minis in it and my parents have to park their vehicles in the drive (one of which is a wrx) looks like a real solid estate..... I'll track one down eventually too :tongue: enjoy working with rust! sweet glorious rust! :cheese: :fear: :sick: well you either got to love it or hate it

Good luck and make it sweet
