the base coat was applied today have a look
The gloss is unbelievable after this base some coat putty and wet sanding will be used to further smoothen and correct any imperfections on the body

Progress is a bit slow now as the painstaking task of identifying and marking the imperfections in the paint job started as well as finishing work is being done to the yellow monster in the background
nothing is being done to the engine bay because I�m still undecided on a power plant |

The fenders and side skirts were all made from sheet metal and shapped by hand it took a lot of man hours and skill. All the strightener had to work with were some pictures and plenty pointers form Amos and i |

David,
The car looks amazing!!!! things like this is what makes me feel proud as a mini owner ,.... it is very encouraging and inspiring to everyone when they see a mini brought to this condition & the hours & $$ put into it..
There are a few potential mini owners in work here & they were all blown away when they saw the pics on this thread... one guy is presently restoring a mini 850 & this gave him real enthusiasm to push more work on the car ..
Keep up the good work !!!

I'm not easily impressed by cars but I think what you're doing is fantastic. And I know how much it takes to do what you're doing. Keep up the great work bro. |
