spotted this on ebay noticed it was in st leonards (my town) so put a bid on before going out for a meal came back an i had won :fear: wasnt expectin that really but anyways now we have to deal with it :tongue:





front end doesnt matter too much because itll be getting a flipfront regardless of what state its in lol hopefully picking him up tonight! hopefully you lot will be more positive then the Miniresource lot lol


£295..bargain :smartass: an im going halves with dad on everything so actually cost £150 for me! lol

PS anyone in the area have a welder they can lend?....or want to give us a hand with welding?

PPS heres the link lol Our first project!

wow, £295 is pretty good! Even if its really rusty it doesn't matter, its still a good base for a project.... :grin:

What are your plans for it? The flipfront sounds good, although please make sure it fits properly! :tongue:

I'm guessing its standard?

Looks like it could use a bit of TLC! :grin: What are your plans for it? just resto or bonkers rebuild?

Good luck with it and we'll be expecting regular progress reports of how it's coming along :grin:

[DenZal]

to be fair i know theres rust holes but i dont think there too bad, there on flat parts so nice flat straight patch, the top half looks fine to me.

if i have my way it will get a flipfront maybe a 1380 or 1275 and stay that colour as i think that works well, also id like to put maybe some grp5 or grp2 arches and some wide wheels. inside nice and simple the way a van should be! centre binnacle seats steering wheel thats all ya need...an maybe a gearstick an handbrake if we feel adventurous lol

Miniresource and I see that you're a moderator on there...

Go-on desert to TMF....

295 for that is a well good bargain...

Go-on you know you want to... desert desert desert !

MR tread - the usual suspects !

my hanor was a little worse than that so if i can get hanor back to the living i have no dout in ya bud!


hanor has a total cost so far of £4297.!with another 1k to spend i think !
it never stops ! lol snip 2k ish off of that if she was standard ! i purchased all new parts tho to be honest!

[Gogobroom]

Looks good to me my brother-in-law had a white mini van many years ago - it was MOT'd and taxed but it looked in a worse state than that lol... It will be good to see how you get on with it. Going to be starting my mini project once my Rib's healed.

|Save the front panel if you can, even if you dont want to use it, someone will buy it off you as they are dear to buy new!!

[DenZal]

to b honest i like the colour scheme it has at the moment with some wide black arches itd b coolio, the front ends prettyt good drivers side wing has some rust thats gone thru so that needs replacing...unless we go for flipfront, bulkhead is solid front floor section is solid which im chuffed with rear floor is solid middle bit is hidden under boxes and boxes of spares lol will look 2moro

Good luck Denz,who cares what everyone else thinks of your project as they wont be the one's fixing it up or paying for it and MR is full of negativity atm! Also,lots of male bonding with your dad to look forward to

[DenZal]
