    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.

    Hiya Keith-£1057 sounds great. RG looks as good as the day it was new, probably better. You should be really proud. Get that engine in now! Bruce is going in tomorrow to have his roof done in blue. I'll send you a pic when he's done. Keep well.

    The paint job looks fantastic Keith. A credit to you. Thank you for sharing the costs. I will be painting my mini once I finish the metal work. I was planning on getting a professional to do the paint work and was budgeting about €3.5K but I think now that might not be enough. Cheers.

    Give yourself a massive pat on the back. The colour is amazing and is testament to all the hours spent preparing the bodywork. I’d be interested in knowing what the total spend has been from the body panels and new bright work? Have you made a note of the man hours you have put into making that as awesome as it is. Can’t wait to see you out and about in it once you’ve refitted the engine.

    Keith you have inspired me to paint my own mini! You did a great job and appreciate so much this video particularly as it helps a lot. Just a question, where do you dispose of waste thinners, cleanup liquids etc?
