Minisprint this min is worse than i thought it was , but decided it was cheaper to repair.
I had a mk2 in 1987ish ,so it would have been the same age in comparison, it was
no where as rotten as this little bu**er .LOL.

Can i ask a cheeky question...
What are u doing with this Mini once all the welding is done?

[camp freddy]

weighing it in for scrap metal Dog ,LOL, should get
loads for it due to the amount of weld on it !!!!!!!

[camp freddy]

you've got your own, greedy sod !!!!!!

[Dog]

I Just wanted to know lol
Just seems your doing the body, but havn't read any plans for the after bodywork...

[camp freddy]

concentrating on getting the shell sound first, have thought about body mods
but a little way off yet, bought some G5 arches off Monkeyboy, i've got to cut
out my NEWLY fitted rear arches to give extra wheel clearance for 13'' wheels.
neg rear camber and lowered, neg front camber and lowered. flip steel front

Sounds like ur going with the modern flow atm then!
Awsome, with ur welding skills, your Mini is going to blooming awesome!

[camp freddy]

I hope so Dog, got to decide whether to use the internal hinges or go for external
and mod the A panels as i need new hinges anyway, but i don't want it to look
like i'm copying you again LOL

[Dog]

Well I want the mk1 look, but with mk4 benifits...
Exturnal hinges IMO, make the Mini... and it really messes with peoples minds, a chap decided to stop and look at my mini when it was uncovered outside...

He couldn't "guess" the age! Due to the light plates on the back, and the hinges... evntully he said it was a mk2... lol
only 20 years out lol!

And u havn't copied me in anyway... your welding is better lol

[camp freddy]

Great minds think alike hey Dog,
