Yep that was me, was out doing deliveries in the pickup, using it for what it was designed for. Get plenty of comments about it when I pull up to businesses with falcon engines and gearboxes and panels in the back. Amazing how much you can fit in there.

Must get at least three people a day stopping into the yard to ask if it is for sale, great advertising tool I am just waiting to have the signwriting done on it.

Mechanical and drive line are all like new, body is rough with plenty of rust hidden under the shoddy paint. Looks fine from a few feet away though. It will end up going through my panel and paint section but then not sure if I would use it for deliveries anymore!

If you have your own panel and paint shop why wouldn't you continue to use it for deliveries? If it gets attention and as you say yourself, great advertising :D

Hey Jason, where is your new Mini Shop? (If you're allowed to state on here!). When's the grand opening? It's great Perth now has an alternative for Mini parts and repair I won't have to do my own repairs as much now :lol:

Wouldnt want to scuff it up again once its been made nice! Might have to finish the van off and use that instead.

New shop is 4 Attwell St Landsdale. Mini & Ford wreckers, mechanical workshop, panel & paint and cheap used cars. One stop shop for a minor service to full nut and bolt restorations. Hows that for a plug haha :D

Website under construction.

Edit: Best add we are fully licensed repairers and dealer license MD24254.

But you have your own panel shop! Scuffing it keeps the apprentice employed :lol:

P.S. Do you need a part time driver? With a company Mini van and pick-up I'd be very tempted :lol:

Haha I may need a driver in the future. Panel beater is a retired tafe teacher, old school at its best. Amazing the work this guy produces.
