Here is an update...as ive been laying down coats of wax on the roof ive turned to the front end clay barring it and getting it prepped...the roof is the biggest pain but usually when thats done the rest goes quick...

laying down more coats of wax...

taping off the front end...paint is not bad but you can see its kinda fuzzy looking

sprayed down with quick detailer

what came off the paint after the first pass

first coat of wax on the passenger side of the front end

this is how i apply wax evenly across the surface...pour it on the pad then squish along the surface

so shiny smooth and green

you can even claybar glass!

the crap that came off the windshield

Finally done! here is a pic of the front end with the grille and bumper reattached...took the clay bar to the chrome and then some metal polish and elbow grease

Well at least the classic mini is the O- effing -riginal color and not some silly looking not fast or furious s-box with 80's tribal frame stickers on it.

i have a 2 row rad with the multi blade fan and i use a diff water pump pulley to slow down the speed so less cavitation plus i have a water temp gauge to keep an eye on it...plus for cooling i also have a Mocal oil cooler mounted behind the grille

got her home...the power is certainly noticable...especially since he also tuned the carb and distributor up as well...

and first thing that has to be done...new brakes

Wow..that quite a transformation.

Nice to see another nuts sticker out there too.

ScottinBend · Jan 29, 2013

Still loving the car! Love seeing these pics.

....:sad: my Nuts sticker faded and fell off of my car

Looks good. I've always liked the way paint looks after clay and wax.

Gizmo · Feb 10, 2013

Looks good as new!! I miss detailing my Classic, took half the time as my R53

When the warmer weather (and the road salting stops) I need to detail my car. I have a lot of swirls in paint that need to be buffered out.

:cornut: The rear window sticker, does it say: 'Who Dares Wins' or 'Who Minis Wins'? Just curious as the former is the SAS Regt and the latter is a Mini Club. Or is it something all together different?
