Time for the Curley carbon front end
It's progressing well
Nah its all going to be proper OEM, just as it left the factory. Spent a fortune getting the proper Rover panels. Not using any cheap poorly made copies.
I like my classic minis to look as original as poss.
Only thing that I will change is the side repeaters from orange to clear as Im not a fan of the orange.
Great work Ian. Your pics are tempting me to restore another classic - must resist
Another update.
Graeme has welded the new front end on
Then on Saturday the car got into primer and the roof went into colour
Rest of car should be going into colour this week. I will then be machine polishing it all to flatten it then bring it to shine. Graeme will then fit the stripes and decals then I can get it home and slowly clean everything and build it back together. Aim to have it taxed and tested at the start of May.
Nice one ! Oh to have the time, money, friends and space to do one myself
Well I ain't giving you any money
