The garage is slowly being converted into a spray booth albeit a very unproffesional one!

The owner is a massive car fan... you'll probably see something from his collection, just lurking there!
See you this weekend/feb!

I can't get it to load on Facebook myself, probably because I'm using an iPad, and it just wants to open in safari not the Facebook app. IOS eh? Could I either get the name of the group on Facebook, or time and postcode etc? If I could grab some details too would be great, I think I'm free that night, though my car is not that retro, being a 1998 primera GT Morning Search AutoJungle should come up... hopefully! More than welcome to come along, we aren't fussy on what is and isnt retro, we have had all sorts turn up.

Looks like your in the same situation as me I am currently restoring a 1990 Mini, slowly slowly and little bit at a time, it will be 2 years by time its complete but its rock solid and I have learnt so much! Next up some paint and start to put things together

I would seriously recommend hiring a garage or barn somewhere to begin with, shop around and try not to use an estate agent for cheapness Buy a welder, compressor and a few tools and have a go Suprising what you can teach yourself

Not much more to note.. lots done, I have revisited a few panels I wasnt happy with, moved the headlight ring and a bit more welding to the front panel, just to make it even more solid!
No more rust, which is lucky as the gas bottle ran out!
Bought some doors, test fitted them this weekend, and bought an alloy rocker cover and now just time to prep for paint... again, I wont rush it! So may well be a few more weeks before it gets anywhere really

If anyone wants to come to this event this is the fantastic menu that was on offer last time.... They have obviously put in a lot of effort. The food is spot on also. This is the only photo I took of the cars that turned up I managed to get a photo of yours but not an amazing one Was mad how much room it has despite its size! (picture wont upload to Pbucket, but is on the facebook page Matt
