BM's All New "Ouch that's another skinned knuckle" Mini Restoration Thread

[Snoopy]

He can borrow mine ~ 8 mph top whack and 25 miles between charges...... it may take some time.

[Barman]

Is he travelling by scooter? 

No, a 7? tonne truck with all me bits in it like... 

[GROWLER]

Water drained, radiator and shroud removed....  

The rate you're going, you'll have this at a show before the autumn!

You going to get a 'down to the metal' respray done btw?
What colur is it going to be?

If you're going to change it, it HAS to be Bronze Yellow,   but it will then have to be painted inside as well as out.  

That black roof just isn't right and wasn't an option either.

i may be wrong btw...I usually am, but I'm sure the GT decals down the side should be in red and not black on the white models.

I like black/white, I think it suits it... Mind you, black isn't a brilliant roof colour for a Mediterranean island....  

I have the 'V5' here but it is all Greek to me... I think it says the colour is just 'white'...

And I found some remains of decals inside the car so they clearly aren't originals or have perhaps been repaired/re-applied if they are...

So yes, I'm keen on bare metal and perhaps a sensible thing to do would be to lose the black roof for aesthetic and practical reasons.... 

I know a man with a D/A sander,(240 v) a mahoosive supply of sanding discs and a fair amount of patience for such little tasks.

When can you get here! 

When's MD coming over? 

We'll need feeding and 'watering' you know, and entertaining in the evenings like after a 'ard day grinding away at Me Mi.

[GROWLER]

Sorry, didn't tell you I'd christened it 'Me Mi' did I?
