I know about as far from a mk1 as you can get, but first time we have had a mini in for ages.
Turned out quite nice. :)

Great to see Nick. What was the body like? I probably had mine down that far but didn't take the F and R screens out. It was a simple matter to flood the box and hidden sections with vapourised Supertrol. Will you put up some more photos? Wish I'd taken loads more.

Hi peter, thanks for compliment, the body was pretty good on this, couple of small patches on rear valance One on the drivers doorstep.
No more pics in paint stages will take a couple of the finished article though. It’s not built up as the customer brought it in dismantled.

Thanks billy came in stripped I doubt I will see the finished article, as the guy lives some miles away.
