Nice job!

I read this topic all the way through, and it really motivated me to keep it up on mine!

great work, when is it going for paint?

My mate from work will be coming here to do all the filler work and prep I will be priming it up and painting the inside and underside were it is. Top coat on the outside is a mystery still as I could use our booth at work or at my mates. Cheers mate!

nice work mate :) what's up with the bright green mini??? :/

That's my first car ex daily driver. I took it off the road shortly after I got the van due to crank oil seal blowing behind the clutch. Engines now out ready for rebuild to go in van! Eventually I will restore it as it has nasty over sills ( not fitted by me)

I want to see it for real! Lol

Update after a bit of a brake!
Sorted out the drip rail on the p/ s ! Just needs grinding down now. Also cleaned up the front seams and etched primed them to prevent further surface rust. Only have 2 panels left the mk1 switch panel and the p/s heel board to arch closing panel then it's ready for the floor to be cleaned up and painted before making it a rolling shell! Just need to get my arse in gear!

This!

What's your plan with the engine side of things, is it all built ready?

[ryan22_lgm]

And I have 2 1275 engines to use to build one for this van but need to sell my DT 125 to pay for all the shiny fast bits !

Cheers mate!

I have had fun removing some of their 'quick fixes' but it will be worth it in the end!

Right haven't touched the van for a week I had a slight accident and bought another one ! It was a bargain tho!

Look what's hiding under the rocker cover! ;)

Well I figured I need one on the road so it makes me want to do the van more as the metro is nothing like a mini!

[minbin 69]

wish i could get another one..i'm just spending every penny i get on the van right now no chance of getting another one..

[ryan22_lgm]

I'm still here guys!! Had an accident with the angle grinder cut through the tendon on the top of my thumb! So everything's been going wrong.
My mate kindly came over and welded all the panels on for me I tryed to help with 1 hand :s


I have been doing some of the filler work today as I don't have a car at the moment cause I have killed this metro . Once I get this done I will start on the van again !
