i am very impressed with this such a good read

[jaydee]

So this should be moved into the project forum

[Artful Dodger]

well done for saving it!

proved alot of people wrong and kept the mini alive!

buutttt... thats beyond all economical repair! needs a good full set of panels for that to look good, may as well re-shell it! will be the lowest mileage re-shelled mini ever!!!

A: Why lie about the dates on which its been removed
B: Why pull the roof out? Its not the shell that fell off the production line anymore.. its a knocked about clubman shell :/

Spoilt it. Don't care if everyone thinks I'm wrong, heritage has been spoilt..
I could even agree with building an onsite museum so we could visit it ... hell even re-create that tunnel elsewhere, but trying to restore it? Not to mention the owner of the "last ever mini to leave the factory" is going to be pissed!

I think its great you pulled it out, however you should of left in its state and donated it to a museum.

I agree With 666Junky. Thats ruined it.

Sorry.

I agree. Ruined it as soon as he started to move it from it's place

dude.. what could he have done with that sort of shell??? pointless keeping it like that may as well scrap it. restoring it SYMPATHETICALLY would be such a good idea. but no, always has to be a killjoy

If you can straighten out and put it square, especially without using a proper jig, then hats off man!
