Hi

Post by Macker2 »

Hello all, great forum. I have been enjoying looking at all the great restorations on here, and the level of skill involved amazes me.
I have a basically scrap Austin mini 850 and am having a go at getting it back on the road.
I really appreciate the information that can be found on here and wouldn't have known where to start without it. :D
I have started by re skinning the doors and will try to put some pics of my efforts.

Have fun on the resto as well. Was panel bond used?
I have my hands full with raising a family but my project will finally begin this spring.

Hi Scott.
I didn't use panel bond. I studied this thread of. InimiaD viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1491&hilit=Traveller He is a master.
And hammered the edges over with the type of hammer in the pic and a dolly. I also welded in a door bottom repair piece from m machine as well as the window runner repair pieces.
My car looks in similar condition to yours. Good luck.
