Well at a spritley young 50 i am starting my last project car and its a classic Mini, originally a base 1000 in pagent blue but its going back to the shell and fresh paint and will just take it from there, at the moment its engine out time and the removal of said Maniflow 3 into 1 has been a Bstard to say the least, will update as we go.

Few details on the car its a 1980 vintage would have loved a older one but it really was a mint car before I started with a exceptionally clean shell , only done 34k from new no wet weather use for last 26 years hence why its so clean but started to show a few surface blemishes so its going back to a bare shell for a full rebuild and colour change, though the colour is growing on me daily as I strip her down.

I think you should keep it Pageant Blue - it's a lovely colour and there aren't that many about.

 

What are you going to do engine-wise??

[mudwerx]

Yeh mr bounce I am starting to love the colour actually , not sure with engine yet do I go 1380 big bore or have a 998 screamer built as original engineonly has 34k on it ??? Actually trying to find someone now to advise best route to take, any suggestions welcome .

[mudwerx]

Could not resist a little purchase to brighten up to stripdown blues, anyone got one fitted ?? Paddy Hopkirk quick shift inc shift knob
