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. 8-)

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.

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