Hi Guys,

 

I'm Charles and I'm restoring an Austin Seven from 1961. From since I was 2, my parents have owned a 1986 Mini The Chelsea. During the years we've fixed almost everything there is to be fixed on a mini and me and my dad learned a lot over time. I live in the south of the Netherlands.

 

A few years back I got a Mk1 Austin Seven from an English friend of mine. It was in a very bad condition and had been stationary since 1988. He bought it with the idea to restore it some day but realized that wouldn't happen anymore so he gave it to me. A lot panels have been replaced and the car is currently at the paintshop for final sanding and paint. The reassembly can begin! I've added some pictures of the before and current situation :).
