[mini-andrews]

Hi people throught i would show you this project that me and my dad are doining, This mini was brought 4 weeks ago, it was said to be 90% finished due to the amount we work we wanted a mini with a little work. WE WERE WRONG. LOL.
The mini had been painted wihich was ideal, then it was toshed together really badly which wasn't.

We got the mini back home on bank holiday Monday once dad had finished with the garage and it was clear to roll the mini in.

Sorry that some pics are wrong way.

Within hours the interior was striped out, screen out, bonnet off, boot of, most the chrome.
Next day dad starts welding.
