BEFORE




AFTER (still at painters, not done yet)

 

nice!
didnt like orange? looks like you had pretty good paint going into it.

 

Orange? Actually, it was a tomato soup red....

Great job, Norm!

 

Beautiful so far. What color roof should we expect?

 

Looks like you chose the right color! Looks great!

 

looking good

 

i went Jet Black with the Aspen white roof........i'll have more pics in a day or so....

 

Nice!

Looking forward to pictures of the finished car.

 

hey Norm, who is doing the painting?

 

Tribby's auto body in largo........i went and lloked at it this morning and it looks great ......all he has left is the boot lid and the doors to paint......the roof came out great.........after he puts it all back together he is gonna wet sand it for that awsome showroom shine.......

 

 

do you have the stock motor in it. or do you want/or have a wild swap in it?

 

Hey guy I love the paint, but isn't the steering wheel on the wrong side?

 

lol.........Nope it's on the RIGHT side.............as far as the motor goes i have a 1275 head on the 1100 block........gonna have it tweeked and tuned and then well see.......

 

Norm, you stole my line, lol.

Looking sweet man, we will be quite the pair my friend.

 

after i take it to Dion i should be able to get all the cosmetic stuff done (Checkers and so forth) so it wont be long before we can show these cars....
i've got to get the seats and all re-done from somewhere......i might shop that around today.......i was thinking about having the painter paint them with high quality fabric/vynil paint........he did paint the headliner because it had stains in it but now its in great shape...and looks a 100% better

as soon as it's done im gonna put a for sale sign on it and see what i can get .......but as you know Lance, the profit made will go towards the next mini...maybe 2.......

 

After all that, you're gonna sell it?!?!

 

Money talk's.............heads up also........seats our all getting done now ........white and black checkerboard theme..........they will look like they have a checkerboard racing strip down the middle.....front and rear.....

 

some day me too. very pretty .bonnet stripes please.

 

Wow that looks really good. I love me a classic Mini.

 

Looks great!!! Did the painter do any body restoral?? Rust etc?

 

yea there was typical rust issues in the roof water sill......and a bit on the seems.......had a dent or 2 fixed.......but pretty much took care all the issues ..........this car will be in mint condition when im done.......im guessing by about Dec. i will have everything done.........interior and all

 

some other before and after phot's

 

Sweet ride Norm!

Please post pics when you get it completed.
