1979 Super Deluxe - Resprayed Shell / Sandy Beige
Turbo Mini Forums

My heart is on the floor typing all this.

I'm selling my freshly restored & resprayed 1979 Super Deluxe project shell.

I had an issue with surface rust making an appearance in localised areas on the front half and I can't spare the time or money to put her right. I would desperately like something to drive this show season! It's been far too long.

It's a sad shame because my project has always been hugely admired by you folk on here & everyone else. The finish on the paint is absolutely superb, you can see that from the photos.

Colours:

- Sandy beige.
- Snowberry white.

Modifications to the shell are as follows:

- Two small metal tabs welded on to the rear valance, to accomodate the rear fog light & reverse light.
- Two small tabs welded on to the lower dash rail, to affix a Mk1 switch panel.
- Two front fresh air vents welded up, I was going to fit works rally style dashboards & I had fitted wheel arch liners, so would have been rendered useless, they are a rust trap.
- LHD windscreen wiper holes welded up.
- Holes drilled in the rear wheel arches, bolt holes for the rear harness bar.
- Mk1 Fibreglass boot.
- Original Mk3 metal bonnet with the lip ground off to resemble a Mk1 bonnet.

Work that was carried out at the bodyshop:

- Painted inside and outside of shell beige including boot and engine areas.
- Painted roof white.
- Replaced 2x 'A' panels (due to doors catching)
- Replaced 1x door skin (due to excessive distortion)
- All filler work.
- Sealer work to shell.
- Paint all none shell panels supplied including harness rail, wheel arches and hinges.
- Complete shell put in high build primer and prepped.
- Stoneguarding of sills, front & rear valances + finished in paint.
- Waxoyled cavities.

What you are buying:

- The bare shell.
- Boot.
- Bonnet.
- 2x doors.

Extras:

I'm selling these as extras simply because you may not even want to buy them. Different arches can always be fitted dependent on what wheels you are running & the harness bar holes can either be welded up or covered over with the rear seat.

- W&P colour coded arches (+£60.00)
- Jon Betts colour coded harness bar (+£30.00)

YOU ARE BUYING THE SHELL ONLY (OR OPTIONAL EXTRAS ^)





















& the bad bits..



I'm known for my attention to detail & being overly meticulous & anal with things.. so some of these patches are somewhat rather normal on a classic mini to appear.

Location / Price / Details:

- Just outside Melton Mowbray, LE14.
- £1,850
- Feel free to pop across and have a look at the shell, if you drop me a message we can arrange a date & a time.
- You'll have to sort transportation of the shell.
- Feel free to ask any questions or request more information & photographs.

Nice car, good luck with the sale

stunning shell, most people would regard this as mint condition. I'd buy it if I had the time and space, but sadly I don't :(
