00:39 - Intro
Project Racing Green is my 1989 Rover Mini Racing Green that has had an official John Cooper conversion fitted by John Cooper Garages. The standard 998cc engine is boosted from 41BHP to 60BHP thanks to the engine upgrades. The upgrades include a polished and ported Cylinder head with enlarged valves, LCB exhaust system, Roller tip rockers, and Twin HS2 SU Carburettors. The interior enhancements include walnut door capping, walnut dashboard, alloy door furniture, and luxurious John Cooper emblem full leather GTS recliner seats. - Авто та транспорт
If all this were not filmed, it would be hard to believe that you are doing it alone in your garage.
The result is incredible!!
Bravo
Really fantastic work Keith, love watching your work on a Sunday nights in bed as I get up at 2.00am many thanks joe
Congratulations Keith, you've done a sterling job on this Mini. Enjoyable bit now putting it back together
Wow. Looks great Keith. Certainly worth the effort you put into it.
Stunning work! My partner’s recently bought a red 1993 Italian Job which had a poor quality DIY respray in 2020. It needs repainting professionally, but I did take some wet and dry paper to the boot lid in the area of the registration plate recess this week as it was a textured matt finish (!) and then two stage machine polished the whole car. It’s still terrible when you look close up, but at least it’s now shiny all over!! We’re really pleased with it, for now.
We’ve loved watching your videos and yesterday used the tip about heating the plastic wheel arch trims when refitting them to get them to hold their contour. Also we used a nut as a washer on the rivet gun to get a firmer push on the gun. Top tips. Thank you!
No problem, thank you
Paint work looks fantastic, job well done.
Great stuff Keith, the finishing line is nearly in sight
Keith - another excellent installment, with more tips than the average brain can handle. Thanks. - I would say £1,250 for materials, paint and power (excluding your labour) for the 'spray job'.
Inspirational Keith! Looks amazing! Cheers!
Certainly notice the difference on the bonnet but end product looks amazing great video Keith
Too humble, amazing results for a man in his shed! I'd guess it at 2.25k in parts
Looks absolutely beautiful 👍
That looks stunning, I'm getting ready to paint mine this week....some excellent tips and advice!
Looks amazing keith. Nice work.
Mate, that looks even better now! Great work. 😎
Thanks 👍
Stunning work Kieth, she looks fantastic. You must be well proud
Looks well nice Keith as for price I'm gonna say 1k all in all 😊
Looks phenomenal 👍🏻 and i reckon you won’t have got much change out of 2k for all the paint and materials
Another great vid! I'd guess you're about 2.5k in materials for that job. It's really looking great!
Wow - Keith, you back is gonna be sore after that lot!
LOL, it did for a few days!
wow that has turned out amazing like glass
When you rolled out the car and panned the camera round the front, I said “oh wow”.
Keith be proud of what you’ve achieved.
Would you consider ceramic coating the car?
Thanks mate. I am thinking of ceramic coating, just not sure what to use.
I would say £1450 for the paintwork Keith.
I think the word “nibs” derives from an Old Norse word “Nibba” meaning a sharp point. Which can also mean the end of a pen or tool.
I think your total spend on the Racing Green excluding the purchase price will hit a figure upwards of £4,275. That is without your labour costs. I hope I’m well off and you have not spent anywhere near that but I know first hand it’s all too easy to get carried away with adding a few extras into each basket when ordering pieces for a classic Mini.
Love how well the paint work has come out. You must be so proud, just take your time rebuilding everything back up on it.
Super job
Terrifying, but looks great 👍 £700?
Hi Kieth, Looking great. Not sure if you said but wondering where you got the trizact discs from?
E-bay, you can buy them in all different quantities
I hate paint work, find it so mind numbing boring, well done Kieth
£1,200 Looks great, don't take it to supermarket car parks.
WOW lovely Keith it looks nice and shiny
Hiya Keith-you've got to be proud of that paint job, it's amazing. I reckon £1500 but i'm probably miles off. Keep well.
Looking great Keith good work you do make it look easy but sure it isn’t. I am renovating my own mini RSP and documenting my progress and will need to paint at some point but don’t expect to get results as good as your racing green. Enjoying watching keeping the good work. @MiniJay250
Good luck!
