nice use of child labour, but hell, start em young i say!

that boot lid and back valance are an amazing display of metal beating skills!!!

That is amazing....

The perfect Mini??

Notice the high rust to metal ratio

What? Is this something that exists??

I'm considering having my 62 sent to Pakistan for restoring

im going to get him to make me some alloy doors

I wonder how long it took to make that bootlid?!?

Rich, how about gettting a batch of Bentley wings

Impressive beater job ! Funnily it reminds me this ad : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44aSlKyRhRY

heres the best pictures - hats off to the beater!
































good eh?

There are some serious skill on show there!

Doesn't it go to show that where there is a will there is always a way, I hope it makes the folks who moan about the crap quality of panels available in the UK think twice!

I wonder how much it would cost to get the speedwell car sent over to Pakistan?

Someone's sooo got to get him to make some ally ones !

Awesome, guru is that your old saxo in for a bodykit and resto in the background?

Truely amazing! I dread to think how long that would take to make even the simplest of panels.

Ive seen a similar beater job before done on a VW camper. I'll try and find a link.

tom

i doubt even the skills of the beater would have returned that bad boy to the road.

i suppose he could have modified what was left....
