Where's the spray paint from? If it's from Halfords, it will actually rub off with panel wipe.

New game mini

Luckily it turns out it's plastikote so it's not been too bad to remove so far, which is good because it was all over the bonnet, windscreen and roof :o

It was meant as tongue in cheek haha, my laughing face got replaced with those question marks! I think I'll just try it, with acid etch primer.

First registered 04/01/70, according to Mini World the Mk3 S introduced in March '70. On the UK DVLA system 1275cc was the last engine fitted, but not necessarily the original.
Like my 1971 project it's tax exempt & been off the road for a long time so it's not showing SORN -With luck it MIGHTY still be alive.
