My pickup has been on the road for a few months now, but this week i got an old hard drive fixed for my computer and found some old pre resto pictures on it. Hope these can be a bit of inspiration for anyone who needs it because this resto was done on an absolute tiny budget.

a few more pictures of the whole process of my resto.
Ctrl + V or right-click -> Paste



The welding took weeks, partly because I was learning as I went along and partly because there was sooo much of it !

Spraying was also learned as I went along. I started off by roller painting with Rustoleum, but tried spraying the stuff and was pretty pleased with how it went on and how forgiving it is to a novice sprayer.


I do have stacks more fotos of the subframe being cleaned and painted and the engine being cleaned aswell, but I'll maybe post some of them later. These pictures are about a year old now so I'll maybe take some more up to date ones as like all mini owners I've done a few more bits to it. Cant leave it alone

Cheers mate. The colour is the closest I could find in the Rustoleum range to "old English white". It is called Ivory, or RAL 1015. I just thought it goes really well with the black roof (smooth black hammerite) and the chrome.

Very nice, the original look, keeping it simple. More recent pictures asap please.

Don't know whether I'm having a brain fart but are you wipers facing the wrong way?

Lovely pickup though, I'm so jealous! You've done it proud.
