started this rebuild a few months ago, and i never posted on here.. but i did post it on the clubman estate forum.. well heres what i have so far. try to ignore the time delay..

oh yea also try to be nice about my welding skills.. before this ive never welded anything in my life. also ive never done a restore like this before..

hello all.. i bought an estate for the wife
and i have decided to do a complete restore on it. i went and bought it thought it didnt need much... as far as you can tell from the pics.. but then i dug in
deep. and heres a compilation of pics of what ive found and what ive done so far.. this is about 2 weeks in the making thus far. we plan to have her completely
done by may ish
