The Cooper has turned out nicely:

The Van has been living in a pop up garage in the garden, not touched it in ages but it will need quite a bit of touching up before it is show ready again.

 

Had some post from the British Mini Club today - valuation returned, bit more than currently Insured for so changes needed.

Moved the cars away from the trees as the wind was the worst it has been all winter, about an hour later they fell.

Last weekend the Van had its first run out this year, but it is filthy and needs a tidy up before the shows start next weekend.

I won't be this year, the Van is taking a back seat whilst I am training for my charity bike ride in June. Still not got the door back on yet after a respray...

This is 10 days or so ago, the Van is now bare metal - putting a fresh coat on it and tidying every last bit.

The paint was too soft and it wasn't right. It'll hopefully be back for Mini Fest or Mini Fair 2 (Can't remember what it's called!)

Well, it's actually a few steps on from this - it is roadworthy!

 

I'm just refitting the interior and I would like another seat - the Mk1 type from 59-61.

 

Please see my Wanted ad for more info if you think you have one.
