Righto! Im Andrew from NE Scotland and the proud owner of Trig, my first car, which is a 1991 Mini City E. (Thats right folks 998cc of pure power)

Wont post all the pics of the rebuild so far but heres some of the major ones.....will post most important new ones when the time arises.

Car looked like this before I took it off the road to sort its severe rust issues....

Aim is to make it as low as possible (so tubbed arches was clearly my only option....) with smoothed off panels whilst retaining seams.

So onto the rebuild photos! Wont give any explanations as you will be able to tell. From now on I will add more though
