Project Sell Up - Shell - Added Pictures
Turbo Mini Forums

I've been having a serious reality check of late and decided three things:

a) I will never finish this project, due to family time constraints and a complete lack of arsedness for doing work on cars.
2) While ever I have the shell, I will keep buying stuff that I will never get round to fitting to it.
d) I'm 6ft 5, why the hell am I messing round in tiny little cars.

So, I'm going to test the water with the shell and panels. If that goes, I will put the rest of the bits I have accumulated up for sale.

The shell - early 90's round nose. Average condition for the age. Needs the following panels/repairs:

- Front end - currently cut off from the bulkhead forward including inner wings.
- Skuttle and closing panels.
- Some rust spots in the gutter - shell section included for this.
- Repairs to both flitch panels.
- Both front floors need small repairs and a bit of hammering where they have been jacked up by a knob.
- Drivers inner and step sills, plus small repairs to the inners.
- Passenger side outer sill.
- Drivers side lower quarter repair (front of arch).
- Drivers side rear arch holed at the top - I was going to fix this by tubbing it.
- Passenger side sill.
- Small repairs under both rear lights.
- Heal board may need a couple of small repairs.

The boot floor is solid and the floors aren't too bad. The roof is good and hasn't been cut for a sun roof. If I had dedicated time and wasn't ridiculously slow, I reckon the shell is doable in a few weekends.

£200. Collection from Rotherham.

















One piece steel front end with a commercial/mk 1 bonnet welded into the opening. Needs a little work to get it 100%, but the fit is reasonable.

£100

These panels are pretty much everything needed to repair the shell. All are pattern.

£250

- A pair of solid doors, may need skinning.
- scuttle
- scuttle clossing panels
- pair of sills
- pair of lower rear panel repair sections
- drivers quarter repair section
- drivers side step still (genuine)
- Pair of A Panels - Genuine
- Rear Valance
- Boot lid.

Or take the lot for £500.

Between me and John, we probably have the majority of the parts to build the shell into a car so happy to help with other spares (engines, heads, gearboxes etc etc).
