Hi everyone.

My dad and I have just laid our hands on a very neglected mini, and we are planning to start a complete rebuild.

We are hoping to push on the buttons of some knowledgeable members here to steer us in the right directions!

Thanks in advance Big Grin 

Henk

Welcome

Ask away.
Own some minis, break them, fix them, improve them, test them to the limit....

Welcome.

Doesn't look like it's in bad shape.
Looks like it needs a good wash to see what you actually have there.

We have so far completely stripped the body, we are going to pressure wash it, to get a complete picture of it.  So far we have not found any structure rust at all.
