with my new found wages im planning on having all the rust on my mini removed and all filler removed and welded up.

this will be in preparation for her respray.

theres not a huge amount of rust or filler just a fair amount of rust bubbles, and also guttering rust. also fancy getting a fiberglass front end putting on. and possibly going bumperless on the front and rear.

anybody know anywhere in worcestershire that could do this? and how much for a general de-rust? (excluding fancy front and bumperless)



if i paid for a paint job where they took the mini down to metal would they remove all the exterior rust any way?


any comments appreciated.

I'll be taking mine to be sprayed up at AutoCraft :-

You know Newtown Cross on the A4103? It's next door to the Texaco :w00t: Not Worcester, but their work looks pretty good from what I've seen :) They sprayed up my Uncle's car where he had a scratch/dent - and it's now perfect :)
