Reviving a 5 year old thread (http://www.restorationmini.com/forum/index.php?topic=881.0) with a project that is still ongoing! In those five years, two kids and a flirtation with a Grand Wagoneer had kept me from finishing a restoration that I was sure was only going to take "a year or two." While it may not be done yet, a lot of progress has been made, including replacement of inner rear arches, quarter panels, rear subframe mounting panel, floor (2 half panels), outer sills, door steps, a posts, a panels, cross member, lower dash rail, inner wings, outer wings, and bonnet. I have refurbished the rear subframe with new Superfin drum brakes and rear shocks. Earlier this year, I decided to do a Honda swap with a D16 engine, using McGee's Custom Minis bespoke subframe. Here is the project as it currently sits. Currently working on getting acceptable door and bonnet gaps - expect a post soon!
But look how far you're come! 77.gif
