mk1 austin cooper project .....

[Thomas Crown]

hi guys new to the forum but i'm about to start a resto on the body of my mini . 2years ago it had a mechanical rebuild so now its the bodys turn !!! Its 41 years old but has had tlc throughout its life and it is a solid shell just abit scabby !!! The roof / quarters / floor / sills are original but i have suspect thoughts about the doors and the bonnet / wings and bootlid . Theres no rot but it has had a really crap paint job afew years ago and its very thin so theres blemishes all over . So i decided to get her naked and start again . :)

should be in the garage on sunday to start work so i will get pictures up asap and keep a regular update ,

ps not to keen on other forums and iv came across you guys , looking at posts all seems good !!!! i suppose the whole "club" thing gets kleeky also so im not in any !! I just enjoy my mini .
