This is how the basic build will go.
As you can see there is a lot of fabrication!
So we need to start with a good donor vehicle.

And what a gem she is! A lovely pooh brown 1982 mini! mmm

A lovely "tea towel" style interior.



First thing to do. Totaly strip it.



I had it to this stage after 2 hours.


Tucked away in the corner.

Some lil things i found hiding in various parts of the car.

That was it for my first days work. Because the floor of the car will be totally removed i wont be able to move it. So it needs some wheels.
Heres a trolly cage thing i stole from next door . The castors were needed for something far more important!

Heres a few pictures of the start of my car trolly.



Just needs some connecting bars to go form the trolly to the shell now. Which i will do once i remove the engine and subframes.
