    The wheels, I really like though!
     
    edit -
    what about doing the van, in a rat-rod theme?
    satin black, widened red Lotus Cortina GT steel wheels/stock dog dish hub caps/whitewalls,
     
    and some cool 50's pinstriping and business logo writing on the sides in bronze/gold/silver?

    The wheels were my favorite part of this too

    I love that rat rod idea, that would be cool

    Yeah she'll be a fun build. There is some big fabrication needed in areas and I might try to throw in a little custom work as well for good measure. I'm pretty sure I'll be keeping the rear windows, might tint them a bit but I like being able to see all the wankers on the road around me before they drive through me.

    How's this for a giggle.. I drew this sketch a number of years ago. OK it's a mini not an esky, but I may have a type...

    Hahaha I have the same type I think.

    I have always liked the vans and actually have a 1971 mini K panel van with no side windows, tucked away waiting for a rebuild. It's pretty much rust free maybe only a small amount (last time I looked at it, it was anyway. It's been stored under cover on concrete so should be ok still)

    You were not kidding about it being a little rusty!

    Regarding engine swaps, there is a lot of good idea's here, but at the end of the day it is your project and you've gotta do what suits your needs and what will make you happy.

    Will you be keeping the rear side windows or filling them in?

    The condition of this, looks like so many vehicles I have looked at in the past and said to myself, "I wish I had the skills, know how and the confidence, to fix this" but never felt that I could do it. So I am genuinely excited to see the tutorial videos and how this progresses. Hopefully I can learn something (probably lots) and build up the confidence to tackle something like this myself one day.

    For now I'll try and keep up with the other things you've got going on in your shop.
