Very nice, wcutler!

I love Mk1s, especially the 10" wheels. The Burnt orange look is really growing on me.

This car runs SCCA RoadRallies and TSD Rallies along with attending a few shows here and there! It is a scream to drive!

more pics

its got cheap black interior, front part of headliner ruined - someone installed a vw light console in the ceiling, rear pockets were cut for the roll cage and dash needs work

Based on the body # - That will be right on the cusp of 59/60 but the shell was probably built late 59. However the car would probably have been built early 60. Most of the numbers given a you say date the parts to late 59 ish but that would be normal for a late 60 too
based on FE # - date of very end '59 to start of '60 has been told to me

based on the info from this web site http://www.1959miniregister.com
My car has no drip guards, brass hinges (3 of the 4), welded seat mouting, passenger door lock has round button but painted black, early heater, small rear hinges in rear windows, round drain holes and in rear only and drain holes in doors.

WC What is the chassis number of your car? Did you find the chassis stamp on the wing brace? Was the shell number still attached anywhere?

She needs some work, but she'd be a BEUT afterwards. Just don't keep her red... I can't think of a SINGLE woody that I know of that's not red. I'd personally love to see that baby in green or even black.

I like to see the woody in a blue similar to the color Norm just painted his. Either way the red roof makes it too plain.

I agree with stratman977 and ImagoX. My personal favorite for a woody would be BMC's vintage color Almond green w/Old English white top.
