Classic Mini Fully Restored! 31/08/2013

This is my Austin Mini City E 998cc Manual Classic Mini, Totally restored! A Classic Car doesn’t get much better than this!

Started life as a mint beige mini then when i bought the car it was Silver and had Mayfair stickers on it! Then a guy called Olly Clark wrote down what i wanted and started work 8 months ago! we agreed a price and he began!

The Car has undergone the following work:

Shot blasting
Then cutting out all rubbish metal
new floor panels and new inner and outer sills have been replaced
the car has had a full new front end
new rear valance
then the car was welded together
then the car was all under sealed and stone chipped
then the car was sanded back to bare metal and a coat of filler was applied to get rid of any low spots on the paint
after this the roof was sprayed Jet Black
Then the rest of the car was Sprayed in Pastel Orange RAL:2008
then the car was flatted all over! (not just from bottom of windows down) it was flatted from top to bottom!

The sub-frames are brand new and powder coated in Matt black

all engine parts, brakes, track rod ends, brackets have been powder coated blue.

also the engine has been fully shot blasted and rebuilt from scratch with new valve seats new piston rings.

There is much much much more work been done but need to look at receipts cant think of the top of my head.

Now for the interesting part!

Anyone who has ever owned a mini will understand that they are far more fun to drive than any other car! There is no body role, there quick , and you can throw them into corners. This car is a real head turner! the day i got it i stopped at a service station at Mcdonalds and six people crowded round my car to admire it and ask me about it.
