hi all Curt has been asking me for a while now to write a post about the restoration of my mini so here goes ive had the mini for about 18 months now she is a 1982 austin mini mayfair 1000, when i bought the mini it was a real mix of colours (green, white, purple, silver and a bit of rust) the plan was to get the mini back to as near as original condition and it is getting there with most of the mechanical and cosmetic work done (just a case of putting it back together again) most of the paint has been "cut in" the only thing that is missing is the mayfair decals, side stripes and maybe bonnet stripes. (the bonnet strip wasnt fixed on proporly when the pic was taken) Any resto is well worth doing, as curt will probably agree, the experience you gain and seeing your hard work pay off at the end is great.
