Man....if only I had the money...

 

Same here...

Althought I suppose this would give you an excuse to keep the roadster project?

 

I think he sold the roadster

 

Norm, I know I keep circling this one - sorry, but I'm still learning to gauge the extent of my skills and limitations - but what would you charge me for an engine bay full cleaning, inspection for rust (and repair thereof, including the inside of the wings), stripping of the underbody coating and repair of any rusted floor pans, along with an interior strip and coating of interior Rhino Cote (in the cabin and MAYBE in the engine bay) and a fresh underbody coating? I keep going back and forth, wondering if I can/should tackle the job myself. Finishing up my re-carpeting and seat covers (which, admittedly isn't very technical) has me flush with confidence, but I fear that it may be misplaced.

 

Im in MN right now but i will try to crunch some numbers for ya when i get back.....

 

Works for me - lemme know whenever you have some free time to crunch.

 

Pm sent.......also still looking for 2 projects ........hit me up if interested....

 

I believe there were a couple of photos posted both "pre" and "during" when Norm was working on my mini, but i am finally getting around to posting a few "post" exterior work by Norm

He did a great job of fixing a ton of hidden rust and issues created because a previous owner did a crap job on some repairs.

Imagination engineering in Orlando helped getting my steering and motor sorted and now i have one cool car!

I still have some interior work to do but that is at the mercy of my budget!

Very nice work Big Norm!

 

I have 1 restoration pending and 1 spot open.......PM me if interested and we can chat about details.....

 

i have room for 2 more this year.....already have 1 getting ready to start.......contact me and we can chat

 

I wish I had the money. :(

 

CR Mini, what did it end up costing you? Looks like a brand new car!!

 

It wasnt cheap, but, based upon the work that Norm did and the amount of hidden rust that was uncovered, i thought it was very fair and i was very happy with the results.

I would recommend Norm to anyone.

I was just thinking about talking to him again this summer to see about getting the underside and wheel wells stripped down and recoated. I think i read on another post here that he had done that for someone else

 

I wish Norm was able to keep & finish that speedster project he was toying with.......does anyone know what became of it?

 

Sold it

 

here is the video for the Seattle project that is just about ready to go to it's new home

i knew that....i was wondering if the new owner was going to go ahead with the speedster idea or not?

 

he sadi he was gonna keep the roadster idea

 

hopefully he will keep us updated

 

just meet with the guy last night, and this is his first real project car......so it might take some time......i do know he has a honda motor sitting at home for it......and he is staying with the roadster plan....thats all the details i can give at this time

 

sweet!!!! thanks for the update!

 

just took on two projects .....have room for one more.......great pricing for the first one interesed....PM me
