I'll also be putting this up for sale this year, but no rush to sell it - I know what it is worth, and I won't be accepting stupidly low money for it.

 

Once I have tidied the paint up I will be putting a full set of pictures online and a proper advert. It'll also be on display at various shows this year for any potential buyers to view.

 

Still looking for that seat though...

Nope, i've had Mini's since I was 16, and i'll be 26 in a few months - time to put the toys away for a while and get on with real life!

You need to finish that Van then, jump behind the wheel and you'll be feeling young again!

 

Seat issue is resolved, I have got a seat now - strip, spray, get it trimmed and then bolt it in - so near to the Van being "finished"

Stripped the seat, but still not got around to sanding and spraying. Used the Van to drive to work, and was treated to an indoor parking spot - never get that with my Audi!

Now sold the Van, hopefully the new owner enjoys it more than I have done - a bit uncomfortable to drive when you're 6ft 5 and mainly leg!

 

Restored a van that was not pretty when I bought it. Did two shows with it, taking a 1st and a 2nd. Drove it around a bit, now it moves on.

 

Little bit sad really - end of an era as I don't have a Mini for the first time since I was 16.

Lower than I would have liked in an ideal world, but I'm happy with the amount.

I am trying to detrmine the value of mine in a restored and asis state.

 

Would you mind PM'ing a rough guide to allow me to build up a good picture or actual selling prices?
