Hello TMF

I'd like to start a journal for a new mini I bought just before Christmas, it's a 1982 mini van, currently it has no name so is just simply called the van!
I've wanted a mini van for some time and this one came up on eBay for a sensible price so I went for it and decided to buy, it's far from roadworthy let alone presentable but I can see potential In it and I'm looking forward to the rebuild. The roof and rear panels are in good order which was important to me being the only bits you can't replace with new metal.
The plan really is to get all the body shell sorted first then worry about what spec it will be as I go along, I would like to keep it factory looking if not all origional to the year. Here are some pictures for now of when I got it home after a nice 6 hour drive to the other end of the country!
