Here is the latest in mini restoration. http://www.operationmini.com/html/77mini.htm
Also my pickup is probably sold to a guy in Cali. He's paying me to drive it out there for the purchase. I leave Sunday and will be back in a week. May have another car coming from the UK next week and looking for another truck.

SWEET! My dad is actually selling his 66 S. I really wish i could buy it, but there is no way I can swing the money right now. 
His car made the cover of the MINI calendar for 2006

Mk1 S should pull some serious cash!
We did the bulk of the restoration in 10 days and 110 hours. Then had to wait for doors skins and glass to arrive. After we put the doors together and other interior, plus color sanding, I image we had about 150 hours in it. Thats 2 people, so 300 hours.
Any Dane Cook fans?

Nice job,
That truck looks bad ***. Do you have any inside pix's. I like the color also.
I'm slacking on the interior pics. Trying to decide what to do with the blue seats. Gotta get them recovered in black or something. This is all I have for now, lol.
Engine bay shot.
