    Watching your tear down as you anticipate the put-back, (as I have done myself) I was reminded of the geologists who, as they ponder just how the Grand Canyon was formed, realize that they have no idea where to start or what order to take. Good luck and I enjoyed the memories you stirred.

    I’ve got a 1960 single cab with very similar rust. Looking forward to seeing how you tackle it. Good luck!

    That actually came off easier then I thought it would. I figured it would come off in chunks. lol. Good news is you can use the Fiberglass as a roof over a Patio. The small holes are from the wood slats

    You think your single cab is rusty, you should see what demop garage have do deal with. They are also following the nova Scotia barndoor restoration. With all his measurements for accuracy

      @wickedwerks  Місяць тому +1

      It certainly wasn’t when I started 😂 I’m not really sure what to call what I want to do. I want to make it solid and straight, but I’m not going to paint it nice. It’ll be rattle canned Turkis and hand painted where necessary. I want to add some simple updates to make it driveable year round.

      Thankfully no 😂 I’ve worked on Minis before and I /hate/ them. I share the space with a buddy of mine who works on Minis and other British things. The red one is a true Cooper S with 40k on the odometer. Extremely clean car and it’s for sale!

    The tank divider piece for the floor that WW makes is incorrect. KF had the correct one but they are phasing out so no telling if they still have it. If so you can get it without buying all the other pieces.
