An update a little ealier than thought, the guy who owns the land only had vechiles to flatten the land today so needed the mini out, we got a phone call earlier on, saying he had moved it and its left on the side of (a quite and private) road. We can't get the trailer until around 8 tonight to pick it up and are worried he hasnt moved it as carefully as we would of. As you can probably tell its in very fragile condition so the likelyhood of something falling off is high. He assures us its not damaged but i cant be sure until we pick it up tonight and check it's former grave and have a good look over.

I'm hoping the flash on the camera is good enough to take a few pictures tonight. It's being stored at my partners parents garage (as we don't have a garage ourselves ) so we wont have time to go look at it until saturday and give her a clean out. (we are sure its been used as a wildlife holiday home over the years....)

Will update tonight on the status of the car.

Cant wait for your update, Hope he's not damaged it

[Mini-Mad-Craig]

[Bungle]

is it home yet ?

[Goldie1275]

Hey sorry for the late reply! been out all day and not had chance to load the photos on here!!!

Well apart from dragging it out (obviously the wheels are siezed!!) with a forklift or something, they didnt do a too bad a job, it was just very hard to get out all the dirt that had accumilated within the wheel.

anyway, here are some pictures....









It's home now and all safe, just need to clear her out. picking up some wheels from a friend at the mini club so we can roll her about and move her to a little hibernation home, till its time to weld. we will be sourcing and replacing windows to make her more watertight...! and cover her over.

Oh and picking up the documents tomorrow (the owner of the car is not the same person who owns the land...) but we found her reg plate and she is a B reg, so that makes her a 64. We also hope that the owner will give us alot of history on the car and she mentioned she took the badges off too so that will be nice to have too! x

feel free to tell us how mental we are for taking this rust bucket home!!
