This is what Frank had to start with, some 2 bit piss porr attempt at restoring with Bog. Frank has done a marvelous job :D Brings a smile to my face every time i see the van, but it quickly turns to a frown when i think of my own van.... I will do better next time... :oops:

Cheers

I love that picture of it green especially as on the front passenger guard it looks like a light reflection but is actually a large flat spot from someone who rested something heavy on the guard. Both front guards had big flat spots.

The van had 3 or 4 large pots of bog in it which all had to be dug out and the back doors had bog 2 cm thick and 20 cm long 5 cm wide at the bottoms of each. Mechanically when bought the van was a disaster.

The restoration colour choices fabrics and what went where and how is all Mikey and I. The mechanical work is all us as well.

Frank is amazing and getting bodies straight and lining up panels, taking cars apart and putting them back together. Frank is a great panel beater.

We handed frank the beaten up van and got a near as possible to perfect shell back which Mikey and I built into what bruizer is today.

PERSPECTIVE

Panel work on Bruizer is Frank,

Paint was Al

Colour scheme and style Mikey and myself guided closely by BMC for the cabin (mini K sedan interior) rear trim idea me, brought to life by Thompson trimming.

Engine rebuild Twilight Minis

Gearbox, good mate one of the best in the business,

Motor install, Running gear rebuild, brake rebuild, rewire, window install, steering rack, carbie rebuild, parts and accessories found, tune and servicing me.

Bruizer still has small non mechanical issues to be fixed.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ (less than you'd think) Why it happened and who took the risks and did the research Mikey and I.

No one person can or should take the credit for Bruizer or try.

Tom I can't wait for Penny Lane to be finished with the combination of skilled people working on her yourself included she'll be gorgeous, a very exciting journey begins.

Got your tools yet?

Steve
