Apologies! The photo probably does not do it justice. Have you got plans to restore it?

it's the Wombat!! (not our Wombat, but the car is called Wombat - I think...)

it is on it's 3rd engine.... 390,000 odd miles as at Minis Down Under 2006 I believe

Morrie is going to give his S to me, I'm going to patch up some of the rust, and give it a polish ;)

How do we get from nothing done but oil changes , to it's on it's third engine?
I think this might be the car I spotted two days in a row on Glendenning rd recently. The first time I thought it was doogie in dusty ex Hay mode.

Polish? I tried that once, it didn't work. :cry:
When a car is parked in a garage and the garage burns down in a bushfire you can expect a few blemishes in the duco. :mrgreen:
