[olds_kool_lews]

I txt him for you mate to get him to ring you

Few pics of progress

Construction.mini

Here's the holes in the roof, tricky to repair given where they are, but we'll sort it



Mini Cooper nearly ready for paint



Paulmini1275 mini nearly there



Also had a couple of mk1s dropped off for complete restoration, 1 is just a shell rebuild, but will be on the back burner for awhile as other cars need to be done 1st, its a total basket case, every panel needs replacing so its not going to be a quick job...



And greasemonkeys '62 mk1 which will be started on in the new year, this too needs extensive restoration







We also have Harrymini's mini which is currently waiting to be sand blasted, plus several other minis waiting there turn in the paint booth! I'll get more pics when I get a spare 5 mins

Thanks for looking

Guess that's why there is such a love hate relationship with mini's..... crap like that just people hiding **** selling and then they hide other ****, then you get the car to restore and hello hidden repairs..... OMG ahhh well that's the way of the world.

At least it's been found now before it painted and heading to warmer climates, won't have any nasty bodges (by previous owners) rearing there ugly heads ruining an otherwise mint car!

But hey, that's minis lol

Construction.mini

Your shells in primer now, just having the stopper work done then its ready to paint







We also have a cooper that's pretty much ready to paint, just waiting on paint to turn up

[olds_kool_lews]

Construction.mini more progress to report, shell has its paint applied, just the roof to paint black and the bolt on panels to paint to match the body, looking smart!

Hi mate, is mine out of the sandblasting yet? Hope there weren't any nasty surprises.

[olds_kool_lews]

Hi Harry, it's still waiting to be blasted, we are pretty full on at the moment with cars that were in before it that have taken longer than expected due to lots if custom work and fabrication, so it's still waiting its turn, we tend not to blast them until it's there turn in the body shop, otherwise they tend to go rusty from the damp in the air, but once a slot opens up, it's next in line :) the wait will be well worth it though! Hope that's ok?

That's fine, if you could get some pics of mine when it's been blasted that'd be good as I need to update my project thread.

[olds_kool_lews]

No probs guys :)
