So here is my other unfinished project that i wanted to finish for summer... last year.
Havent had this one for long.

What i've done:
Complete strip down

Full sandblast, I tried doing it myself but it took wayyyy too long, so anyone who needs bits sand blasted let me know cos i bought a big pressure pot sand blaster!

Welded Rust in floor and other bits

Started priming and filling

Fully rebuilt subframes and painted a nice glossy black!

8.4" disk brakes, and new brake lines. Belive it or not, is swapped cooper s callipers in need of rebuild for rebuilt callipers, and new rotors

Plans:
Finish body work, paint marine blue

paint roll bar and front and rear bars white Wheels white.

Some engine laying around, or maybe the 1360 outta the mini

Redo seats...if you can call em seats.

and maybe a radio install


Heres some pics.

Enjoy

Looks to me like you have a bit of work to do Adam, this plus the Minis. Ever thought of moving to Magnetic Island? The place is crawling with 'em?

Moke FTW! I had a 1275 "export", was good fun. More time on moke, less on the minis, Vtec it! PS. union jack the mini, its a cliché but it looks ace.
