what are the doors like? how do i get there?! i want it lol

[hayno]

i had a quick look at the doors and look okay bit of surface rust on the inisde at the bottom but it was just a quick glance!
Id say the easiest way to explain to get there is if you are coming from the town centre past all toys `r`us, b&q and in and out?? head over the bridge to small roundabout 1st left with super sausage on ur left! and just follow that road theres sum shops on either side ull come to lights with netto and that there go straight over and just follow the road right to the end! Hope u find it? The owner of the scrappy wont sell the complete car though!

ahhh cheers. YGPM.
I may be going down Tuesday as I need to pop along to the hospital so thought, as I'm in Northampton I may aswell go see this mini.
If you are around I'll give you a shout and get the horn off you.

someones had the roof off it already, and ive had the doors! i was hopin the engine was a 1275, as it was painted red, but unfortunatly its only a 998! oh well!

[olds_kool_lews]

THIS MINI IS NOW DEAD! it collapsed in on itself when i opened the doors (the roof had been but off, and the floors were rotten!) so its on its last journey to be melted down into bean tins. RUST IN PIECE MINI

[DaveVader]

Damn, wont bother going down then! Oh well, I'm sure some more will pop up, I may just go to the scrappy for the fun of it.

[hayno]

Hes got another down there not much to it though and a complete rot box fellas engines all there though nothing to the interior
Heres a piccy i though i would spread the joy of its final days

[foxfan]

Thats pretty sad really. I've restored minis which were in a really bad state of rust, and probly worse than that one.
