How much was the car? Im gonna get one if its cheap enough for me and do up. Can you give me some tips where to get a fairly good mini so i can restore it. I want something which is a challenge so i don't mind minor rust and need some TLC. Thanks :)
yeah equally it could have turned into a real mess. We roughed up the old paint a little first to aid the finish! I can say having driven the car through the sahara desert, most of the front facing paint work was sand blasted back to the original white!
Love the video. Sorry I missed you at the weekend at the rally meet, but I'm sure we'll share a beer sometime. I'm here with Stuart looking at some of the video footage which lead us to search you out on the web. Onwards and upwards ;0)
Nice paint job, looks very nice in the end. It's a pity the old mini always felt like one is being dragged along in a tin can and the engine mountings used to wear out every 5 minutes. Not having to slow down to negotiate corners was useful though :)
so you bought normal spray cans, but wouldn't spray paint go really rough

Turned out amazingly well, do you have a guesstimate about how long such a paint job would last?
