    Your talking to the original second set of hands here with regards to mini rebuilding, not mechanical minded at all but I do a mean “hold this and press this” when need be.

    Ian 'Chip Foose' King!

    If my garage wasn't full of my dear Mum's Pug 106 (which I'm running about in these days), I'd be sorely tempted... not often you can buy a Classic and be totally sure it's a top-notch car. If it was Pepper white with a Black roof I'd be tempted beyond control!

    Well done Ian, looking forward to seeing the finished article.

    Well thats it finished.

    Went for an MOT on Fri after work and then got it Taxed on Sat morning. Been out in it a couple times since.

    Some pics from Fri before taking it for the MOT.

















    And a pic of the under floor. Almost burnt my eyes out degreasing and cleaning this as forgot to wear goggles when lying under the car spraying chemicals, but at least its all clean.


    Pic of the car at the MOT station.

    What a great wee car.. I think it would just be great opening a garage and seeing an original like that.
