Blue 850 City

Post by bluesteel »

Just a few pictures during the resto of my Mini! Currently building 2 more minis, hoping to have them done for June... They're currently bare shells with a fair bit of welding done though... So lot of work needed! Any-who..!

The Mini stripped and up on a lift for a look!

1st door skin on...

Rolled with new floor pans..

Welded, Rust removed, Lowe Rust Primer, and Gravitex all underneath that lovely Scania blue!

Body sprayed & the engine is in. Nice!

Wheels on, glass in, ready for a test.

All polished at Mondello :D

When did I know I wanted to become a farmer? Good question. I suppose it was just a feeling I had from my head tomatoes.

Thanks!! :)

One is a red mini mayfair 1000, it'll be restored, kinda going for the concourse look..
The other one is a cooper 1.3i, was thinking I could have the Italian job with the 3 colours! But will go for the shiny concourse look and might spray it black on top, silver from the door handles down, and with a red pinstripe... influence of watching too much american shows like overhaulin etc!

i'll put up some pictures!
