I am looking for a mini/fiesta project, I don't want something that is going to be sorted in a weekend, or it only needs a bulb etc, I am after something that I can either rwd or mid engined. I would like an estate but anything considered as it will get cut about to fit what I need it fit. So if you have something that you believe is a basket case or just too far gone let me know  I am not going to pay a small mortgage for a car so would consider just a shell, doesn't even have to have windows or interior. WHY? Forgot to say, I won't be collecting until late september early october so it gives you a chance to think about that car in the garden. Cheers, Stu. |

Bryan,
I was really thinking of something with a roof, but I am not going to omit it yet.
Cheers,
Stu.

I was thinking of either a rag top or a folding hard top, using the frame and mechanism from something small and skining said frame with a mini roof skin, and having it fold down into what is now the rear deck, having the rear deck hinge up to hide the roof, idealy it want's mounting to a small chassis, rascal, kitten, kit car ect.
I'm open to offers on how much or how little you might want, and i have moved mini shells in the back of mk4 a 5 transit vans.
Bryan

I am also considering a fiesta as well as a mini, but I really would prefer the mini as space is at a premium. Someone out there must have a mini clubman estate that is in need of work, I am willing to pay for the right car, just don't want to pay stupid amounts.
Cheers,
Stu.

Just had the urge to build a Volksrod, always swore I would never buy a VW, so if you have something that will need a lot of work but with a reasonable chassis and you want shot let me know.
Cheers,
Stu.
