Boot2Bonnet Restoration

Another engine install almost done, just waiting for a few details in the mail and we can start it up. #classicmini #minisofinstargram #webbercarbs #123ignition

Pulling an automatic for a complete rebuild. #ap2automatic #classicmini #minisofinstagram #ap2world #boot2bonnet

Some details are harder than others. When your are trying to have all the correct accessories for a restoration it’s important for them to have the same attention to detail. So I have had the original stickers for the Mk1 Shelly jack reproduced based of a new old stock jack I have. #shellyjack #mk1minicoopers #classicmini #minisofinstagram #minicooper #austincooper #boot2bonnetexclusive

Rebuilt and repainted the door hinges, and installed a new headliner. Fun to finally work on a well known local car with a great history. #QuavalMini #classicmini #minisofinstagram #newtoncommercial #boot2bonnetrestoration @ Boot2Bonnet Restoration

When no USA parts supplier has the panel you need I stock, you end up making it from scratch. The one on the right is made from scratch, and will have the holes drilled once installed. #handmade #classicmini #boot2bonnetrestoration @ Boot2Bonnet Restoration

Just restored a Hydrolastic pump for a local mini owner. Fun project once I got everything apart as corrosion had welded everything together. Pump has all new seals and now pulls vacuum, and build pressure. #hydrolasticsuspension #hydrolasticpump #classicminitools #churchilltools @ Boot2Bonnet Restoration

Another body up on the Celette jig getting squared up for a new front end. Making sure the body is square and properly aligned is just as important as making sure it looks great once painted. #celettebench #classicminiofinstagram #classicminicabriolet #classicmini

When a customer was picking up his car today I noticed it was a big brother to Penelope’s mini. #classicmini #minisofinstagram #twins #boot2bonnetrestoration

The car that started it all. Built in 8 months while going to college. Took body shop classes just to be able to paint it in a booth. #throwbackthursday #classicmini #minisofinstagram #boot2bonnetrestoration #flipfront #vtecmini @ Boot2Bonnet Restoration
