Wow!!! Just read through the whole thread, awesome work!!! Look forward to seeing this finished!

Wish I had the time, skills and motivation to get some done on my van! It's only been sat in the garage for 5 years....

Thanks guys appreciate all positive feedback back!!

Well I've been busy at work ect been giving a promotion so now working a lot more unfortunately so we all know that's means the mini goes on the back burner!!

Well I'll just leave you a few pics of how she's looks at the minute..




Well couple weeks ago I went to weld the fuel tank up. This is a spare tank I had no fuel for at least 7 years. Filled with water to make sure there was no fumes ect..... went to weld pulled the trigger and big bang...and I was on fire ! No pleasant but funny looking back now. Won't be doing it again in a hurry.



Just put another order in with mini spares and that should he the last of my stuff. And shouod he hitting the road soon.

Got loads more pics to upload once I'm on the computer.

Thanks Dan

Thanks buddy ! And awesome get her welded up !!

Got a little bit more done the weekend.

I managed to get the fuel tank full fitted up.... only to take it back out as wasn't happy with the paint on the filler neck.

Also started to fit all the door handles ect so I can get the doors into the right position so I can tighten the hinges up.

Got the back doors also on and fitted up loosely.

Still need to drill the hole in the load bed for the locking bar. Will get that done at some point this week.

Not a great deal done don't get as much time with Christmas coming up!

Please excuse the mess. I really do need yet another tidy up !
