hey everyone,
well last january i finally got my car sorted of all its problems, and the gf's mini was looking rather sorry for itself sat on her drive rotting away,
so we decided to sort it out, now what started as a quick patch up and get it back on the road, except as we started we found ourselves having to remove more parts, and then the more we removed the bigger the task in hand got,
so
we then bought another shell, that had an acident in the front, and drivers side, the damage was minimal, but extremely solid which was a right result, and was a relatively easy repair compared to what it was with the original shell, and the best bit was the shell only cost £200, BARGAIN!!!
dont seem to have many pics of the damage, what u see above is it,
so now we just needed to get it back rolling again, but as me and the gf are rather anal and perfectionists we cleaned and painted everything that has gone back on it, and will continue to do so, this past 10 months have been extremely hard not so much with the mini (although we have come stuck a few times) but mainly on our relationships and relationships with my parents (as its in there garage)
but alas there is light at the end of the tunnel
this is where we at at the mo
we've powder coated as much as we can, and everything has rust proof paint on,
the car is currently at the painters
there is a lot more pics but didnt want to bore everyone, if people wanna see more pics heres a link
