May be a long shot but however around late 2015 i took my mini deluce to a panel beater in Croyden/Maroolbark area for some panel beating and spray painting, around February 2016 I lost contact and basically had to report the car stolen, go through police. Ended up cutting my losses and getting another deluxe which will most likely go in for a RWC next week having finished a 3 year resto.

I am however curious as to weather my original mini is still hanging around or was sold on. When the car was dropped off it had been stripped to a rolling shell with only doors and bonnet and boot provided. it was a matching number car and still have the vin plate and original matching engine.

Curious to see if anyone has seen it.

the body no. 13954

That's rough. Why are beaters/painters always the worst? I almost lost a car too. Got most of it back but none of the up front money =/

If I'm carrying on like a pork-chop, I'm having a great time.

If I go very quiet there's a very good chance I broke something.

You could try contacting Consumer Affairs but they are a bit of a toothless tiger that initially seems to take the side of the business then try's to involve the party's in dispute resolution talks (like that's gunna work in the majority of cases of bad behaviour)...

I actually went through insurance but have always been keen to know what came of the body. I assume it was scrapped however there is every chance that someone has purchased this and is sitting in there shed.

I have seen a similar rear parcel shelf with the 4 holes before. I will go through my pics to see if I can find it.
