[F1 Mini]

wow!... a six wheel ultra lightweight mini!...cool!

[adam c]

lol - bit of a one off isn't it!!
After finally earning some cash to start working on it this week I've decided i'm gonna wait for now as i now have the money to buy a better shell which would save me money in the long run - particularly if its a pre 1972 one (if anyone sees one near me let me know plz.) Am also gonna wait till british mini day to try and get some cheap genuine panels - wings were going for £33 at himley hall in Jan

[Brawlyrox]

Good sound project, cant wait till its done :tongue:

[cowboy]

what size tyres you got for those little wheels, i thought 10" was the smallest you could fit hahahahaha :grin:
shame your getting a new shell, doesn't look like its needs nothing but the usual panels, for a mini, the rust around the vents was the hardest part when i did mine..
keep us posted of the progress and don't forget the pics..

[marksmini]

lmao @ cowboy, 6 wheeler too! lmao

can has lots of rust on her..

is there any panel that aint rusting?

[cowboy]

is there any panel that aint rusting?

[Al*]

hey adam your mini looks alot like mine did when i stripped all the carpet off it and started to tear it apart...only yours looks to be a little less rusty. :saywhat:

Al

[adam c]

Don't think any mini could be quite as rusty as yours Al!!
As far as i know the roof, floors and bulkhead seem to be sound!! (Just £800 worth of panels to replace then!)

[minicruise]

Hey seems like you need a new shell. Worst than mine and mines been up and down fields and then left to rust at the bottom for 2yrs. You'll feel great doing the work. you'r wallet won't tho lmao
