My Mini Mayfair Story Aug 8, 2010 16:15:00 GMT 1

Hi,

My name is Stacey Morgan and I' am a new to the club but my dad (Stevemorgan) has been a member of the club for the last two years.

Below are the details of the rebuild project of my new Mini Mayfair which I helped my dad rebuild (well I put the carpets and cushions in

)

Hope you like the Mini project ;D

Mini Mayfair 1998
Purchased July 2005 (from Swansea off EBay)
Completed Dec 6th 2009 after four long years
Put on the road Aug 1st 2010

Now I will show the story board which shows the start of the project and the end, as the old saying goes a photograph paints a 1,000 words.

So for all you guys and dolls out there looking for a mini project, please be advised of the size of the project as there is always more rust then there looks.

Hope you enjoyed

P.S. The dog in one of the photo's is my Staffordshire Bull Terrier Lady who monitored my dad's work throughout the project ensuring it was all done correctly, she even had her own special chair where she would sit and watch him

See Photo's below, as I know you like Capri's and again I spent over 18 months welding up the rusty Ford. Steve.

	Any one can restore a classic but it takes a real man to cut one up

Immaculate! and the attention to detail is excellent! I would suggest entering it into some show and shines when it gets to some shows

I like the little details that you don't see at first, some neat work.
