Welcome to our projects page. At the moment we have got 3 projects which are:
We got the Mini 30 in a sorry state, it had been sitting around for a couple of years. It came with the full service history but unfortunatly didn't come with the original hand book. The interior of the car was all worn and the seats were torn and burnt. Looking around the outside of the vehicle it has had in the past front wings, front panel, a-panels, both door skins and both quarter panels.
We decided that it has had too much done and needed to much done to it to keep it original so we decided to turbo it, we had all the parts laying about so i attacked it with the angle grinder. We have got to do a fair bit of bodywork to it such as sills, a-panels, door skins, scuttle panel.
If you click on the picture it will take you to the gallery, you will be able to see some of the work we have already carried out.
The Pick-up was given to us, it’s in a
bit of a sorry state but as it has cost nothing its well worth doing, it needs
a complete floor, inner & outer sills, a-panels, front end, scuttle panel
and repairs to both sides and the loadbed. I am considering putting a different
engine in it such as a 1.3 16v Suzuki engine, these engines are all aluminium
so they are nice and light, they have also got quite a lot of tuning potential
and should fit under the standard length front of a mini. Pictures are noe posted in the gallery.
The Hustler 6 belongs to my granddad,
I will be starting the restoration work on it at the end of september/beginning of october. The problems that Hustlers and other kit cars that are built out of box section is that the box section rots from the inside out, alot of the main frame has got to be replaced. I am going to be stripping the car back to the bare frame.
I have got to strip the hustler back
down to a bare frame and replace a lot of the box section. When I have some
images I will post them in the gallery.
