Roofless printed it for him, speak to him regarding other designs, as im not sure what other designs he does, but im sure he could probably do pretty much any design if you ask him nicely lol

Cool thanks for that.

The blue mini we have in for an exterior respray only (the guy bought it to tart up and sell on as it had just passed its mot) needs more work than he first though, and i think a phone call to Vosa is in order as this mini shouldnt be on the road...

It came to us like this..



Looks fairly decent... Until i started stripping the exterior...

Front panel was due to be replaced anyways but it needs more than that..



Lots of rivets along the arch lip, which started alarm bells ringing

There was a big area of primer on the drivers wing which seemed to be covering a patch of filler which needed to be sorted so i felt under the wing to see how big a dent we were dealing with, what i wasnt expecting was to feel rivets...



I then started to inspect the car further and found lots more rot



Petrol tank bracket was held on by sound deadening pads and a tack of weld



Rear arch is also rotten through



Centre of the front screen surround where it meets the roof also has serious corrosion



Some very nasty bodges in this one! Going to take a bit more than a quick blow over to get this 1 sorted!

That looks pretty bad. Does this mean our mayfair is now not the worst one in the worshop?

Your one looks like a brand new shell compared to this one lol and this one has a full mot! :-/

[jntabbycat]

Maybe we should put ours through an mot as it is, might get lucky lol!! How's the welding coming along on ours?

Hi

 

I'm trying to get my R reg rover mini back on the road. Everything is sound (scuttle is rotting a bit), but other wise it is only the passenger outer and inner sills. I was given a very high quote by southam mini as they only use heritage parts now. This is an Mot patch up for now, i'll get it done properly later, but i need to get the car back on the road asap. Any idea how much you would quote?

 

Chris
