Re: 1972 Mini pick up
That's class, don't see enough pickups around here.
Of course I know what a dipstick is, you get called something often enough you look it up!

Re: 1972 Mini pick up
Progress update,
Subframes assembly’s are blasted and painted in PPG selimix satin black all parts are now here and ready to build..
S brake assembly’s rebuilt and almost ready to fit..
1310cc rebuilt engine is now fitted with a calver head on its rebuilt gearbox…
Hopefully it will be rolling with engine fitted in the next week or two..
Now just the other 20 boxes to open and find the rest of the jigsaw!

Re: 1972 Mini pick up
I’m unsure about wheels at the moment, thinking probably LP883’s in silver?
I have a set of rose petals spare I may try…

Re: 1972 Mini pick up
Picture hanging..
I’ve borrowed the moke wheels..
I’m still unsure about the yoko 145’s I may replace them with 032’s?
It may look better with some altitude adjustment when off the trolley..
