Wow Sid,

Where did you pick that one up? Not one I've seen before.

Keep us updated.

Well spent a couple of days stripping it out to access the rust damage & all the very tired interior is now going up to the attic with the glass, even found the suppling dealers plate in the drivers door well :shock:
she will now go into very dry storage until my 131 sport is finished & then the resto will start on the mini :D
