I can get some pics mate, your subframes are all sand blasted now, just waiting on there turn in the spray booth (might be a week or so yet as were having building work carried out at the moment to increase storage etc) but will update as soon as we can :)

ok Thanx, can't wait to see how she's progressing :)

[olds_kool_lews]

Right, bit of an update as its been a while since progress reports were done! We've been expanding our unit, so work on cars had slowed down while we expanded.... We now have a 2nd floor in our unit with racking which is now used fir storage of parts to keep the shop floor clearer!



And a pic from up above to show the cars we have in and the space freed up!



It may look cramped still, but we have 100% more workable area now including under the 2nd floor.

The british open classic now is ready for prime and paint, its had a new front end, sills (inner and outter, plus various other repairs....







Also, blue mini we have in which is being repaired/painted/removeable steel front end fitted is coming along nicely



The red body kitted mini we have been working on for about a year (non-rush job) is pretty much ready for paint





Thanks for looking!

DISASTER! Our compressor decided to blow up, leaving us without air for the tools/painting/blasting! Sorry for the delay in updates, waiting on our new compressor to turn up!

Your work really does look top quality, I can't wait to see what mine ends up looking like.

[olds_kool_lews]

We pride ourselves on doing the best work that we can thats affordable by everyone, we never cut corners or settle for anything less than perfect, I know it takes a little longer but the results are well worth it, is just like to thank all our customers for their patience as it's been a bit of a nightmare lately with the blown compressor and the building work :)
