Restorations underway

Post by gpmini »

Finally it seems some of the restoration projects are underway. Some are minor paint repairs, others major restorations. Here are pics of the first taken at and by the paintshop. They suggested we try a quartz coating. Hope it doesn't come out too bling. :oops:

The South African Mk1 Cooper S had these bucket seats as standard fitment.

Another project underway is an Aussie spec army Moke as used by the South African army. Any info you have on these Mokes please post. I have the excellent BMC Experience article on these Mokes, a great resource. I'm not too sure however what, if any, the differences are between the Mokes supplied to the Australian vs the South African armies.
