Hi all, this is my second mini but the biggest project I have taken on. I bought the car after it had been standing 15years and hope to rescue it and have it on the road for London to brighton next year. I have already started the strip down and the list of parts as you can imagine is as long as my arm. I will keep this up to date but only have 1 day a week I can work on it so may take me some time

mmmm, crusty. Looks like a good base though.

 

Nothing a few new panels and a bit of welding won't sort.

 

I take it you know how to repair it yourself?

 

Cheers

I know most of the bits have a few mates to help already have the painting sorted. A lot of it I will learn as I go but been working on cars for years so should be ok

good to hear. It's the best way to learn the in's and outs when every single in and out needs repairing or replacing.

 

Good luck with the rebuild mate
