Marks JCW 210

[Sportspack-Mark]

Thought I would introduce my new, well new to me MINI. With only 54k on the clock this was too good to miss. Mechanically its had everything it has ever needed done, on the outside it just needs some loving.

This was traded in, I took it home one night and put £30 of fuel though it
That whine was addictive

Lovely looking Mini, must have lived a sheltered life so far with such low mileage....I'm sure that might change..!!

Got the car home from the paintshop complete with new grilles after a thorough wash of all the door shuts and under the bonnet. Wheels were taken off as well. They need a refurb so this was a quick tidy. It was brought into the garage where the fun would commence








So around the doors were deterred, meguiars ultimate compound used to bring things back to life and a coat of colonite wax applied.

The rear JCW bumper stickers were well past it. So off they came!



So later in the week my mate Noel arrived with his vast array of cleaning materials and machine polisher.









All looking rather good!:excited:

Interior has also been stripped, seats out and cleaned with various leather cleaners and conditioners. The last owner had a little terrier so this was essential to remove the white hairs that seemed to appear from nowhere!

Thanks for looking. Brakes have also been painted and I'm working on the exhaust so will update that when i get a chance

Well done Mark, that's some transformation , from a really nice tidy MINI to a totally MINT MINI , Chilli red always looks so good when it is waxed and polished . looking forward to seeing it soon .

Nice! Looking well Mark! Where are you getting the refurb? Are alloys buckled or just kerbed?

[MiniMpi]
