After 12 years of ownership the time has come to sell my customised 1977 Mini Pick-up.

 

I could waffle on about what's been done, but I don't have to, just read the build thread:

Here's what it look like now in a set of photo's I took this week after dragging it out of the garage and giving it a wash:

I'm looking for £5000 for what you see in the pictures. That's the shell with V5 and everything that's currently attached to it. This includes, amongst other things:

 

Billet alloy grille machined from a solid piece of aluminium

Full length rear bumper

Clear rear lenses

Power Steering

CAT 1 alarm

Billet centre console

Fuel injection petrol tank

Aeromotive fuel pressure regulator

Japanese spec 10x6" genuine Minilites

Complete leather interior

Remote brake servo mounted under the wing

2.2 turn quick steering rack

MOMO steering wheel

Electrically heated front windscreen

 

It's not perfect and will need some work to bring it back to it's former glory.

 

The body work is absolutely fantastic. I really went to town on the underbody protection and it's paid off. The underside is so clean. The only real areas of concern are a small patch of rust on the O/S rear quarter that will need fixing and a dent on the O/S wing where someone went into me whilst I was parked up and never left a note! Other than that, as you can see from the pictures, all the usual Mini problem areas are perfect.

 

It was originally sprayed with satin finish paint which looked great at first but has been badly affected by the sun and will need a respray. The plus side is that the rough finish should be really easy to rub down, not like gloss paint clogging up the sand paper.

 

The wiring is an absolute mess. I made the original loom myself and shouldn't have. It's been changed and added to so many times over the years you really would be better off buying a new one.

 

In a couple of weeks I'll have the front and rear subframe/suspension/drum brake set-up off my Clubman spare that I'll throw on this to make it a rolling shell.

 

I'm based in Stockport.
