Default Austin Mini Project for my 8 year old son (he's 9 already lol)

My 8 year old sons car lol

His first project, I did say in the image thread before I'd start a thread but that was when I just had a shell so didn't start one.

Got hold of another car for him as the shell idea seemed to be a pain in the arse buying parts as they're rare now and people ask silly money.

Got him a Neon 998cc yesterday that has been sta in a garage for 13 years!

Here she is - collected yesterday...

I didn't come with any keys as they have lost them due to it being 13 years lol

So I changed the door locks and bot lock and also have a new steering column and barrel to fit tomorrow.

It's never been abused and only has 65K on the clock... good base for a project and pretty solid too.

A panels are rotten and door skins too but I am fitting fibreglass front and possibly doors too depending on what cage goes in so possibly no welding to be done.

But the best bit... I checked oil, topped up water and then chucked a battery in it from my van lol

Fired up after a little fettle with carb!



My lads loves it!
