Craftsmanship right there. Awesome finish on those panels fella.
Been there with back pain, hope it eases up soon. Keep up the cracking work, I bet the owner is chuffed with the updates?
Cheers for the compliments.
I've been feeding the owner updates directly as well as here and he seems very happy.
I'll look forward to seeing his progress putting it back together.
Cheers

Roof polishing today.
I flatted it first
And then polished it
Then the arches.
I primed them first
Flatted them down
Painted them
And then fitted them.
And that it.
I'm finished!!
Cheers for the comments and for following the progress.

Always a pleasure to see your work Ben! Nice to see the advantage peeking out from under the cover! Have been wondering how it was getting on!
Just the inspiration needed to get mine underway in earnest!
Cheers Sam.
The advantage is waiting for its interior, headlining and carpets to arrive before I can progress further.

Evening All,
So, ferry troubles have delayed me picking up the mini for a few weeks, but I have used the time wisely and made a new home for her when she arrives. I was going to shoehorn her into the garage until this way made. Now I can work on her what ever the weather (ish).
Trying to get used to uploading photos, so here's a couple of the new car port.
I will upload progress photos as I go.
One Carb Or Two?

Awesome work again Ben, what are you flatting down with prior to polishing? 2000 wet and dry?

That was mentioned actually Paul but he was happy it was secure and planned to stop and recheck a while down the road incase.

So please to have her home ready to start reassembling.
I'm not sure I've ever driven so carefully! No movement mind. The trailer really is made to measure!
Ben really has done fantastic work, she looks stunning. On recommendation, I will be getting the wiring loom in, fitting the fuel tank and rear lights. I've also ordered the items to build the doors up and an optimise headlining to get her watertight.
I happen to have some very similar photos from drop off and collection which offers a nice comparison.
Thanks Ben for all the exquisite work!
