Well here we have it. This is Geoff my Clubman Estate. Today is project day 1.
I've had him 3 months, and now I've finally got round to begin restoring him.
He's in very good shape for his age. Dry stored for 18 years before I gave him some daylight. All original flooring doesn't need any attention and all panels are original.
I'm planning to fully rebuild him here are my first pics! enjoy!

I spent most of my childhood being carted around in the back of a brown clubby estate so will definitely be following this thread :)
Good luck with the resto!

Looks like it's good and solid, I'd be going for reversible mods but keeping it original looking.
