Please read, so you can understand what I’m after…
I took the rear valance and outer sill off Ellies mini, and was greeted with wafer thin corners to the rear of the boot floor, iffy inner sills at the front, a rusty inner wing (in the area around the door hinges & front of sill leading right up to the scuttle) rusty scuttle corners, and a rear wheel arch that my screwdriver went straight through.
A-panels look ok (ish) but would be coming off anyway to make a good repair.
It's all repairable of course, but still a lot of messing around on the driveway, and I’ve got time against me aswell.
Basically, i want a shell that is better than this one.
I'll be cutting the front off for fitting a K-series, so that's not a problem.
Nor do i mind changing the outer sills, and maybe a rear valance. a little hole in the scuttle is not a problem either, but it must be sufficiently better than hers to warrant the effort of re-shelling...
I don’t want one that has been bogged up to hell, or badly repaired. I don’t mind if it has coversills, so long as the inner sills are in excellent condition (so I can remove the horrible items and weld in some proper sills).
So, Do you have, or know of something like I want?
I’m willing to travel, but please don’t entertain me driving 300 miles to look at something that is worse than what I’ve got, or badly repaired.
