right where to begin

centralminiTC has a verey nice mini cooper called the hatter but being used

everyday is not good for him so she wanted a second car

after threats to fight me for my clubman we looked about for a cheap car to due up for her

after many sleepless night looking on ebay found a clubman alredy fitted with a

A+1300 metro engine but a non runner so placed a bid and won the car for a

small fee !!

so we went on a road trip yesterday to fetch it was by the dartford tunnel

when we got there and saw the car was in pretty good shape a few small scabs on

the body wings/valance and bonnett al relly good

loaded up and came home

quick look over and all have found so far is needs a plate in the drivers footwell

inner sills need replacing on passenger side

boot lid dented and a dent on the rear quarter which i have already pushed out :tongue:

there is no seats or carpet but have bits lying around car is still on drums have sorted some 8.4 disc set up got to fit a exhaust and get it running as soon as i get some room at my unit :)

so a really good buy at £66.01 and she found 7 pence in side

so including fuel cost owes her £105

heres some photos

Its always nice to see a clubby being restored, because they're slowly disappearing!
