I think this is a 1974, I could be wrong. Our customer has been having this car worked on for years, he's a big fan of having something unique that you don't see too often. Once he got the car delivered he wanted us to come by and get it cleaned up and protected. He wasn't looking to spend a lot of money, so we gave it a very light polishing. Car had substantial orange peel, would be nice to give it a wetsand. LSP was BFWD, wheels got Opti-Seal and interior only needed a vacuum and wipedown. Products used: ONR Meguiar's Gold Class APC 10:1 Various brushes ONR Clay lube Fine Blue Clay IPA Uber Green Pads LC Black Pads LC Red Pad 106FA BFWD Opti Seal PC 7424XP Meguiars G110v2 Griot's 3in DA Various MFs Car was in pretty good shape when we arrived After it was washed we started to clay it. Here's after the front end. Here was after the rest of the car. After an IPA wipedown, we got it taped up. Typical defects Like I said, only a light polishing, but it came out really nice Little overspray, hard to capture Cleaned up really easy Leftover compound from whoever buffed it before Pain to clean up, but it went away Some afters Tried to capture the finish, might need a better camera Pulled outside DOHC B16A Wish I could take more time and snap more pics when we work, we're getting better at it though. Hopefully I can keep posting more work. Thanks for looking, feedback welcome.
The detail looks great. That clay was trashed. Was your customer Mr. Bean, and if so, how did you know what services he wanted? lol I wonder if today's mini drivers would even know that was the original?
Haha, this guy is surprisingly the opposite of Mr. Bean. Thanks! Thanks! Yeah, the car is really quick with that motor.
Great Job, I've been wanting an original mini for a while, be a cool project car, I rode in one a few years back and was surprised at how much space there is, reasonable comfortable and a really fun car. Any Interior pics?
Looks great! I always love seeing older cars getting detailed, it's not something you see a lot. Makes me wanna get out there and detail my Beetle
Thanks, he's got another one, but the owner of the custom shop is going to take it off his hands and build him another one. Dude loves those cars. Thank you! Thanks! I know, every time I'm on this forum I get inspired to work more.
Man you got that thing looking great. Little cars are a buzz to work on. I did a cinquecento last summer but it was a rough,rough car. I love the colour on that Mini!!
