Need some better pics of the whole car in the light though to see its true glory!!!

But from what i can see it looks amazing

That looks bad ass! Well done.

I love the look you've got going, classic with some modern touches.

more pics on its way

lol now thats more like it!!!

I am in love with your car, so nice mate

thats some serious work put in..how many hours do you think, or know went into that?

hello, hmm hard 2 say about the amount of hours, but it was ALOT, been working on it for just over a year, every weekend possible, i dont have that many pics at the moment as the van hasnt been on the road much, i am planning on getting sign writing done on the van of the van panels saying clark and son in some nice fancy fonts etc

thats a minty fresh mini, nice to see a car rescued from the brink like that

you have done an amazing job there mate. Dad done one some years back, but, i think yours looks a better restore job :)

fucking pimp

looks spot on, love mini vans

Very nice!

Thats lovley, how hard was it to restore, thinking about getting a van or an estate as my next project.

Looks good mate, have u welded van side panels over the top of the countryman sides? or is it a reshell?

Me and me gf have got a '72 mini van that we are restoring at the mo,its absolutly rotten! we've also got 3 others between the 2 of us! Minis are wicked, i will always be bitten by the mini bug!

my mates doing one of these, hes putting a 2lt engine out of an astra i think it is :]

should be fooking rappid

hi bud, its MINIMON off tmf fancy seeing you here LOVe the project and followed the thread on tmf with great intrest

martin!!! what the hell, i had to double check i was on CP then!

^^ I've got the min iforum up and cp and got dreadfully confused lol

Hi the restoration job on the traveller/ van was quite hard, gettin the van panels welded properly and making them fit the body lines was the hardest part and took about a month of work just for the panels, all the crap jobs like welding,cleaning and painting seem to take forever but u get really excited when u start bolting stuff back on. All i say is we wont be doing another 1,

martin

Sounds good enough for me, I'm a glutton for punishment :) Already done one complete rebuild on a mini, not stopping me wanting to do another

just dont ruin this engine now :p

that looks top notch. got it for a great price aswell.

Sweet Mini! That rear shot in the dark with the rear lights lit up is proper US hotrod stylee

tbh.. you should of left it as a mk1 estate.. I dont like it I'm afraid
