John's Winter Project

Postby bomber01 » Wed Apr 23, 2008 10:50 am

The car is a 1984 Mini City which had rust in doors, front vallance , rear
valance, floor , bonnett , As the car was sound in the right places I decided to renovate rather than scrap, and so the winter project started.

The green is very unusual, I think saab did a car in that kind of lime green colour. I'd stick with the colour and see how she turns out in the end. Amazing work btw :D
