[richw911]

After finishing the 79 Blue we found this for £200 









It has a mini 30 part leather interior 12" minilite reps and all for the grand sum of £200 

Golf with a boot full of metalwork  :lol:


 

Today we removed the exhaust , petrol tank and dropped the rear subframe we had to cut off the subframe bolts as they we red rusty. Check out the rust in the boot











Check out this patch made of body filler and underseal!

Its 3 as it the third mini we have done - a Mini 30 cherry Red (in some of the pics) My 79 super blue, now project purple which is an 83 Mayfair 

Yeah is full of filler covered rust holes  Wait till you see some of the so called welding on the front floors   

Funny we said that today - Though there is not as many Mini project deals around these days because of ebay etc
