This is me and my dad’s project that we have together. A 1974 Van with a very rusty floor. 
Unfortunately  somebody has started cutting away the rust, it’s not so easy to put new panels in again when the previous work is very bad. Good rust free bits have been damaged and must be changed, but what’s the fun in an easy project ?

 

At the same time this was bought we also bought a fake Cooper project with a real Cooper S engine. ( all of the another special Cooper parts were also with it). That engine is now going to live in the van when it’s finished. 
 

I really look forward to this being done as a Van is my favourite sort of Mini.

Always wanted a van! Never got one as they are extremely rare and expensive here...
Got 3others tho. ?
Looking forwards to another van being saved! ? Looks like a nice starting point and a VanS is a nice touch. ?
