Hi

This is my current running mini, it was probably a 5-6 year build and eventually it was handed over to Doug at MiniSpares for completion.

There is a bit more work to be done, but she is currently running very well and an absolute joy to drive.

The beginning as the car was delivered to the panel beater, a pretty decent shell as not 1 panel needed replacement.
Just the firewall needed some work as it had been cut to accept a turbo box.

A bit of paint and the initial stage of rebuild

Finally, I was able to get in and drive.

Your car looks amazing! The attention to detail with the interior and engine bay is brilliant.

Tazz paint suits a mini down to the ground mate.
