Description
The Ultimate Mini Restoration Manual gives you all the info you need to evaluate your skills and attitude, get your garage sorted, choose the right Mini, weld-up the rust, paint it, overhaul the engine, sort the rest of the mechanicals, retrim – then make the car faster, smoother, sharper, and a lot more fun!
Synopsis
Condensing several decades of hands-on Mini experience into a restoration manual that works with and enhances existing repair manuals, Ian Ayre encourages the reader to evaluate realistically their own potential, equip a garage as 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 re-wiring, and rebuilding and retrimming seats.
Once your Mini is on its way to 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!
Additional Information
Minis are the world's favourite starter classic: this book enables restoration on a starter budget.
Existing repair manuals are mostly limited to mechanical issues, and are very boring. As well as covering a much wider area, this book is worth reading just for fun.
Includes instructions on: exorcising the ghost of Joseph Lucas; how to stop a Type R Honda-engined Mini from killing you; how to choose at which end of a Mini the engine should be put; how to save money on a major body restoration; and rewiring Mini headlights to avoid using the switch as a slow-blowing fuse.
