1978 Mini saloon Restored shell

This mini was in a fairly good shape for a 1978 example. We replaced the wings, front panel, apex panels, outer sills, repaired inner wheel arches, replace the rear valance, re-skinned the doors and fully re-sprayed the mini in the original white. Mechanical worked involved some repairs to brakes and a full engine service.
To see how good our work is look at the door shut lines and the neatness of panel fit. This consistence of repair and attention to detail is because all work is carried out in our own work shops by our own staff.

The cost of the body work a few years ago was around £2900.
