Samenvatting:

Condensing several decades of hands-on Mini experience into a restoration manual that works with and enhances existing repair manuals, Iain Ayre encourages the reader to evaluate realistically their own potential, equip a garage as a restoration shop, and buy exactly the right sort of nasty old Mini. Showing two major semi-professional body restorations, on older and newer classic Minis, this manual explains how a full-scale rust rescue job can be successfully tackled, before looking at the aspects of restoration not usually covered in repair manuals, such as rewiring, and rebuilding and retrimming seats. Once your Mini is on its way to full restoration, you'll be shown the art of improving Minis, an art learned during the writing of hundreds of articles on modified Minis ⠦ and in racing and crashing them. Iain Ayre is a long-time Mini enthusiast, who has built and modified his own Mini-derived cars, and who has written many articles for MiniWorld and Mini Magazine.
