Welcome to viewing Jasper so named because of registration He came to me from a dear lady who's partner passed a few years ago ex Leyland engineer of the old school he did the body panels and underside, mechanicals newly built mini speed 1380 not run in basically a nut up rebuild with a hi spec.

 

Leaving me the body to sort out paint and rebuild

decided a bare metal strip was the way to go.

Happy to see a really good body with just a fingernail size panel to let in on rear quarter

The door frames are good and only a little bit of rust Should I do a repair to skin or new skins, after looking back to what was done to Alice and how long it took to do, decided on new skins 

heritage panels, far as i'm concerned is the only way.

Experiences with patent panels show there not worth the grief

skins off skins on

be into the paint soon
