I needed a little break from the classic, so my friend Roy and I held a detail workshop at my place of employment one evening after hours for some of our fellow New MINI owners. You can check out his Datsun 510 at ACCENTZ. he's a Car Domain member also.

Back to Bertie. He's been cleared again, and now it's time to put everything back where it belongs. Lots of new chrome goodies too........

I hit the jackpot the other day. In my line of work, peoples misfortunes are my way of making a living. (You wreck'em, we fix'em).I had an 08 Mitsubishi Eclipse come in as a total loss, and you know who scored some sweet seats.

I wanted to undercoat the underside of Bertie with some of the good stuff. So up on the lift with him. Damn, another rust hole. It didn't take long to patch this up. Undercoating all done, the bottom of this car is just as good as the topside now.

Very sweet mini! I love the progress pics! And the blue checkers on the sides is a first! I can only hope that my mini will look half as nice when it's done.
