need someone to do a big pile of work on my mini

[NDT]

Can anyone recommend someone to do a load of bodywork for me on a mk1 mini? - I just don't have the time any more
preferably located in Bedfordshire...
I'll post some pics of what needs doing to my two unfinished project minis - should be good comedy value!

one's a deseamed 66 mk1, bulkhead prepared for metro turbo - I have all the bits but no time to finish it.
the other's a 62 which is basically standard but needs a bit of love - like both a-panels, a wing and a couple of other rust patches sorting, including the dreaded bit in front of the rear wheel arches....

Think this is one for the Mighty COOPERMAN!

He has a guy in Beds i think, been using him for ages;

Or did I dream it?

The man you need is our Chris Spennewyn.
He is located on the Herts/Beds border just outside Hitchin.
Call him at his workshop on 01462 71080.
A real Mini expert at very reasonable rates.

Sorry, I typed in his number incorrectly. It should have read 01462 711080
I'm sure he'll be pleased to hear from you

Wotcha, Rog, so you've found your way onto here.
I was looking at your shell today as ther is a bit ore space in his workshop now.
Your 1275 engine was awaiting your collection and your driver's door was in primer.
See you soon.

thanks Cooperman - you were right - Chris is a consummate professional, and clearly has an awesome knowledge of Minis and very high standards.

Unfortunately it just wouldn't be economically sound to get Chris to do either of my cars - in fact, all credit to him for suggesting I look for another good condition car as a base for my project, rather than restoring what I've got.

So essentially I'm still looking for someone to tackle one of my cars - focusing on making it structurally sound rather than concours.....
