Yeah don't worry I've offered the wood up it does need a tweet here and there but I'll have to mask it all up for trial fit.
It was awkward as the shell is about 7 hours away from where I live :-)

Ok I've done my road trip to Bude and back.
I must say I think Gav and Kelly at Trailer Queen Restorations have done me proud they've spent 583 hours to complete my shell for me and I understand it's been quite challenging at time has this little car shell.

Indeed it does but I have this passion for mini's :-) and as an extra bonus I don't smoke or drink so hopefully others get to enjoy my passion as well. We all need to restore our little cars because they don't make them anymore :-)

The green eyed monster appears every time I look at this project.

Cannot match the level of restoration my my sons project but it will be another mini saved for years to come.

Look forward for more pictures as it comes back together great work.

£30k maybe? High end work there. Maybe much more money though?
