Its been quite awhile since I last posted any builds or done any modelling so my new years resolution was to get cracking again. So this was pulled out of the stash: A Mini pickup resin shell purchased a couple of years ago with two donors mini's (one for the resin body and the other for a trailer). The donor kit: The resin shell: There is alot of work needed on the shell, lots air bubbles and pitting all over the place: The shell comes complete with a lenghtened resin chassis but its not very nice so going to use the donor kit chassis, cut in half and lenghten that: One good bit of news is the bonnet fits perfect, although will need sanding down to allow for paint: No pictures of the trailer yet but its well on its way to being ready for paint. More progress soon

I remember driving Mini Pickups and Vans back in the 60's and 70's. Did they ever get past using the wire pull to open the doors from the inside, and the sliding door windows on the commercials?

As fas a I know I don't think they did but they stopped making the Mini van and pickup long before the classic Mini
