Good luck with teh restoration, it's great to see another Traveller saved. I have a Mk2 Traveller in Sandy Beige.

If you need any advise then contact the Mini Traveller Countryman Register.

And to give you a bit of inspiration here's a French registered surf blue Coutryman that was at Beaulieu a couple of years ago

Well I have started the restoration,

I have stripped the interior and the bulkhead under the bonnet and the Woody is not as bad as i thought, The doors appatures are braced and the A posts reinforced and the whole floor tub is now out and it came out very easy as you can see with all the holes.
I have fitted and aligned two good front doors and will now start to clean up the good metal at the front and rear toe board mounts and spot weld in a full M-Machine round tunnel tub.
Once the floor is in and a bit strength is back in the shell then I will start repairing the front end.

Vic.

A few photos of the progress of the Woody.

It is going fine at the moment and the M-Machine panels are fantastic.
