Rescued from page 4. Amazing stuff, this really is shaping up to be fantastic when it's finished.

Saw your little interview in this months Mini Mag. it wasn't until i read the second to last question that I realised the whole thing was about a project i have already subscribed to on TMF

Keep up the mini saving! you're doing a grand job!

did anymore ever happen to this

[malcs_miniturbo]

Sorry, nothing much has happened due to other commitments

Rebuilt the gooon last year and the house has had major work, new bathroom, kitchen, rewire, re-plaster etc

Money permitting I'll try and finish the car in 2011

nice mk1 mate good to see another and so close to me

[Mini Mad Drakeley]

just read through this all and you worked extrmely fast in the time you were working on it, and absolutely brill work aswell, i need to get a move on with my mini now, and i wish i was able to weld like you and when you have the time and money to finish it, it will look brilliant, i wonder if i can finish mine before you finish yours now, but brilliant project and hopefully you get it done

Why did you deciede to cut up and change the full (early type) front panel rather than repair it?

[mk3 Cooper S]

Fair enough.

I have a simular dilema with a 61 Van front panel which is mainly dented on the pressed grille section.

Keep the progress going
