My Mini Resto by minimk1

10 minute(s) of a 266 minute read

Been to halfords and also received my vynal which I will be using for the inside of the roof, doors and quarter panels and also the dash rail

update had 3 more coats today after a full 1200 colour sand and so has 6 coats in total on it 

looks so solid in this pic 

left it tucked away until tomorrow 

tomorrows jobs are:

• primer seam strips 
• top coat seam strips 
• fill small dent and some pin holes in drivers door
• top coat  doors inside and out 3-4 coats 
• give rh door hinges another 2 layers of top coat 
• finishing sanding outside and inside of boot 
• primer boot 
• 4 layers of topcoat on boot 

thats all for now........

Hope to get some gloss black during the week and spray the roof and arches next Saturday as this will also need a lot of flatting back to get looking good, will have to template my mk1 windows soon so that dad can send them off to be made in glass, also trying to save for tyres so I can fit my lovely d1 wheels, quoted £44 each fitted, good considering the tyre costs £42 each, going for falkens on my 5x10 as A032's wear too fast and the A008 is more expensive than falkens without any considerable difference. Soon be finished only have 2 months and 24 days till I'm 17

got my tyres yesterday so they were fitted to the car along with the arches, also gave the bottom half of the car a wash as it was filthy and Ive read that its important to keep the paint clean while it is in the curing process, also did some work on my doors last weekend and finished off my boot yesterday ready for primer now, going to put the front windscreen in today and the rear quarter windows, can't do the rear as minisport sent me the mk1 rear screen so it is too small, if the rain stops i will get the passenger door out and get that looking good and ready for some more yellow 

need some new wheel nuts 

put windows in and lights in
