Hello everyone!
It has been a while since my last write up but this is a job that can not go unshared.
It is with great pleasure and much anticipation that I bring to you... what may have been the World's most disgusting Mini Cooper. There has been much debate and endless :think: over just how a vehicle can fall into this state of filth and still be driven on a regular basis. I can confirm that this Mini had not received a bath in many many years and had been subjected to copious amounts of off road use with the windows down.
Ooh if this Mini could talk; the stories it could tell. Upon first sight most people would have turned their heads, convincing themselves "that vision" they just took in was only a figment or their imagination. But not me, it was my duty to my profession to do justice for this helpless vehicle. Deep down under the thick, sticky, and surprisingly resilient film that covered it's every surface; the yellow Mini Cooper was still beaming with life. Like a perennial flower after a long cold winter, I knew it would come back to life again.
With no further a due... Here we go! Hope you enjoy!
Just to get your feet wet.
Wait for it...
The Interior:
Under some sunlight
I worked up the courage to have seat and do some more documenting...
I'l let you wonder how the interior turned out while I show you some shots during revival of the exterior.
I removed some of the pieces to make life a little easier.
Some paintwork correction always helps.
A little plastic polishing.
Here are some shots I got during revival of the interior.
Final Photos:
The hand painted pin striping was weak and brittle after the years of neglect so it was removed.
As always thank you for taking the time to look through this! Hope you enjoyed!
Best Regards,
Tim Buxton
