New member and new project

Post by des »

Hello all, I've been reading this forum and been a member for a few months now, but I think it's about time I did some posting.
This is my 1973 1L automatic, I bought her in the UK about 2 years ago, drove it around for a while before taking her off the road for a month or 2 for a quick clean-up.
It's been about a year with some good, if very slow progress, coming up to the respray stage soon. I've replaced most of the interior and got Paddy Hopkirk to sign the steering boss.
As I missed the mini driving experience I picked up a 1998 cooper (Jap import).
I'm hoping to get along to some of the meetings, but they always seem to clash with the kids soccer matches.

About time I updated the photos, finally finished the welding and respray and well into putting it all back together. Spray job turned out well for a home effort, some small issues but hoping to polish them out. Feeling good now the end is finally in sight !
