Hello fellow mini people.
Just thought I'd say hi. I am currently restoring my 1974 mini pickup, she is in an utter state and I am working hard to get her back up and running. I'm sure I will have many questions to ask in the future... :)

This is a picture of her on the trailer after we dragged her out of the barn she had been in for 23 years. Didn't come out without a fight :PAttached File  image.jpg   121.01K   7 downloads
We then fully stripped her down to a bare shell and had her blasted. Which revealed the full extent of the rot.

Good luck mate, try and enjoy every moment. It's the best way to get to know your mini inside out. If you need any info just ask.
