Great color!

 

Very good job on the restoration. It looks amazing.

 

Can you tell us what a resto like that would cost someone? I mean, what you charge to perform it? Would you have the vehicle, or would someone need to bring you one?

 

of course prices depend on the state of the vehicle being restored.....most people who have there mini''s restored by me already have a mini......this perticular mini i found for the customer...i cant discuss what this paticalular mini cost to build, but would be more than happy to give you a basic rundown of how my restoration agreement works and what is involved, if you PM me you eamil address i can get you more info

 

What a spectacular Mini restoration!!! Very nice work.

 

Wow! Nice work. Do you have any intermediate pics of the rebuild?

Impressive as ever Norm. I'm glad my Mini didn't need anything like that level of work done to it.

 

wow that thing looks mint good job ; ) !

 

thanks !!!

 

That is one of the sweetest darlings I have seen. Personally, I would have given up before I started. Those 'before' pix are impossible--except you did it. Great job. Sure she's fun.

 

it was really scary at first, the owners of the mini didn't think there was any hope at all when the flew in to see it at the begining of the restoration, the second time they saw it was a little over a year later and they loved it......i have to put some milage on it within the next week or 2 to make sure all the bugs are worked out , but i think we are in the clear for a safe departure to there home in Seattle within the month

 

Absolutely beautiful job... I would love to find a project like that...

 

Beautiful!! What seats did you use?

 

metro seats.......very comfy, i like them alot

 

Amazing! I looked at those before photos and thought it was toast for sure. I just cant really believe it.

 

Finally Completed....we had a few bugs to work out but now everything is officially DONE.......owners are making arrangments to get it shipped to their home....WOO HOO !!!!!

 

Excellent work.

 

If I ever have someone else restore a mini for me... I am DEFINITELY calling you.

 

Sounds good...and thanks for all the complements.....car is scheduled to ship....im prob gonna have seperation issues with this one.....

 

Any pics under the bonnet?
