Hey gang,

Since we are currently restoring a car, I figured I'd keep everybody updated!
So here's what we started with:

She needed a new rear quarter panel:

We shaved a few things off the body to clean it up. Another mod was to throw in 1993 Honda Civic door handles:

Then off to paint she went!:

The car is currently color sanded right now:

Buffing will start this weekend!

We will be doing the interior in it(obviously since that's what we make!), four wheel discs, upgraded suspension, etc etc. I'll keep you posted on all that!

Paint is 2006 Mini Cooper Thunder Blue. Body work and paint was handled by Johnny's Auto Color in Riverside, CA. He was a pleasure to deal with!

Here's a small update with this build. We are starting to gather more and more parts to get this car put back together.

We received a huge shipment today from www.ss396.com , Ground Up! They are amazing people to work with. When we called the knew exactly what parts we were looking for. They had everything in stock and shipped the next day! We ordered last Thursday and got everything this Thursday, from CT to CA! Thanks again to the crew over at Ground Up! www.ss396.com
