I have just sold two cars and I was thinking of another project. Iam limited to width because of access . I have a 500 L and an early Mini still . What do you think would be worth looking at. I don't mind some welding but not a basket case.

Asking a question like that on this particular Forum is likely to end up with only one answer---flog the mini, and use the funds raised to restore the 500

....or at a pinch, it would be acceptable to motor along to Carnforth and take on this project:

Absolutely nothing to do to Fiat 650 cc engine RHD rack and pinion steering good paint (white) and all newish red interior and roof.
Mini similar standard I cannot think of anything to do to them.
I have a project coming in but not mine. A small diesel (I know I don't really like diesel) it is out of an old lifeboat so it will be a steep learning curve. But after that I will have an empty workshop.

Well what ever you do it has to be a challenge...
not some Modern Fiat 500 F/L or R where all the parts are available off the shelf...
Something exciting.. something different...
Something to make people go "ohhh is that a...."
"Necker Weinsburger"?
"a Moretti..."
"an Eden Roc"....

and you'd end up with something rather special.....
