Hi all,

I'm new here, been meaning to join for a while now, have finally made it.

Im seeking a little guidance and advise. I had my K reg 1993 mini Italian job restored approximately 4 years ago, I was truly devastated at the appalling service I received; which included brand new, newly sprayed panels 'bubbling' within 4 weeks, new carpet with welding burn holes, a 'patched-up' sub frame plus many more depressing issues!

My car and I are now 'unfortunately' going to have to go through he entire process again. Therefore I'm seeking a highly reputable classic car restorer and specialist welder, hopefully somebody who has mini experience, and most of all enjoys the job.

Hope to speak soon Daisy

Hello and

Very nice classic you have! Sorry to hear about the problems you had

Depending on where you are from, I have heard East Anglian Mini Centre are worth checking out in terms of restoration. Click Here!

Also RJM Body Repairs in Bury St. Edmunds have done a lot of paint work etc on members new and classic mini's on here and the work is spot on!

Hope you get everything sorted and look forward to meeting you and your mini soon

Where abouts are you based. The club has links to some very good mini companys which we can put you in touch with.

Hi Daisy,


I can only echo what the others have said. You car looks lovely BTW in the piccy, great use of the bonnet stripes
The_Beast has a red IJ that he's restoring too

Brilliant looking car - my brother wants one like that! Will have to show him the pic - hope you get it sorted!

welcome aboard

your mini looks great , sorry to hear of your problems..looking forward to seeing a step by step account of your project as you restore it.

Hi all, thanks for your replies, I'm based in Norwich....

I've been searching locally recently, saw a company based in Rackheath: www.classic-car-restorations.co.uk

But need to defiantly do allot of research...

Hello and welcome to ECMC!

I have had work done at RJM Body Repairs before and he is top notch

My dad also has a mini at Anglian Mini Centre in Ipswich at the moment.

Love the mini , don't see many of the blue or white italian jobs around, most of them are red.

Hi and welcome!
I had my Mini restored at RJM, check the project link in my signature for all the photos of before and after.
I've recently had service and maintenance done with Ted at the East Anglian Mini Centre, he really knows his stuff.

Good luck getting it sorted, hope to see you at a meet soon

Hi and welcome

I too have had top work done by RJM body repairs in Bury, I here Ted is very good too, as Foxy mini has said.
