what colour is the grey mini looks great

[Rhys]

I'm looking for a bit of bodywork/respray.

 

I have a restored shell with a couple of repair panels in place etc and want to make sure that the exterior still looks good when all is said and done. I will need it collected (I think I saw that you do that?), what's a bare metal respray worth nowadays?

• I have a 1980 Clubman Estate that i am looking to get back on the road, would need welding, painting, new wheels and tyres and a 1275 engine instead of the lump thats in it now!! And i need it collecting from Fareham in Hampshire. Am happy to forward all the pics you need and am happy for you to take as much time as you need!! CAN YOU HELP?

We had a crash damaged mini in this week, which required front panel, wing and bonnet after a prang, but that was in and out quicker than i could get some pics! Lol very straight forward job!

We also have these in for various repairs....

British Open Classic, this was purchased by the owner from a "mini specialist".... Its full of bodges as you will see....




Over sills both sides! Not good for any mini!



New full inner and outter sills are being fitted along with a new front end and various other repairs as well as a full respray inside and out



We also have this corsa in for lowering, smoothing the bootlid, plus other bits and pieces



The blue mini is in for a full respray too in henley blue, and the red mini is in for front end, sills (has oversills) rear valance and full respray in vermillion orange with black roof





For quotes on any work, from a simple service, to mot welding, sand blasting and full ground up restorations and resprays, drop me a pm :)

Anyone interested in ANY work doing on their mini/s, from the smallest of jobs like a new bulb, to a total ground up restoration from a rotten wreck, we have all facilities in house, including a sand blasting room, body shop, full pro paint booth and we even have our own paint mixing scheme, so can mix any colour needed! 

 

Drop me a message, or leave a comment, anyone wanting work done is more than welcome to come down to our unit to meet the team, have a cuppa and discuss minis till the cows come home (literally...we are on a farm lol) 

 

Thanks for looking!

Nah its fine, we got a good flow goin, each car has stages it goes through in different bays, theres strip down bay, moves to the welding bay, then prep bay then into the paint booth, then it goes back to the strip down bay to be built back up! Theres 3 of us, me, my mate and his dad!

As for the scooby were only blasting the front inner arches, engine bay, inside and any localised rust spots, then its going back to the builders where it will be turned into a rally car!

Leaky...

Your mini is coming on fine, had a few bolts sheer in your rear subframe, and 1 of the captive nuts broke its weld, but there all blasted just waiting on paint (we have 5 frames to paint so they will all be done together) we still need to sort out petrol tank payment and roof lining bars mate

[leaky]

Sweet man. I can sort the money out no worries. Headlining bars I'll give you at show or when ever I next see you.
