yes it was bad it was found it in a field in chester i bought off ebay after a few cans of larger !!! when we got it back to old skool minis in Birmingham i couldnt believe how bad it was but the good points its a very early mk1 number 358 off the production line, and came with most of the original bits which are still useable the only thing missing was the roof

That tub is seriously rotten. It makes some of my projects look in really good condition as bought.
Well worth the effort in restoring considering how few remain.
Keep up the good work.

Brilliant work, that has to be called "The Phoenix".

If anyone is uncertain why, just go to wikipedia and look under 'phoenix' - mythology, sorry to teach those who know, how to suck eggs.

It's been a long time since I've up dated this post about the rebuild of my Moke. It's well on its way to being finished, a good weekends work on it will see it done & ready for its MOT.

Of all the Mini based vehicles I have ever owned, the one I regret selling the most is my Mini Moke.

A moke and a Gilbern GT (and possibly a Lancia Flavia Coupe) are high on my 'to do' list.

Just need more space. and money
