Ok..
So i have 2x classic minis, both need restoration.
Question is...who to use?
I need someone whos not just going to look at it as 'another car'
Body work needs doing first.
Im going to do the red one first...which needs a new roof, new doors and respray...then i will do the white one which is a much bigger job.
I want to see the job someone does on the red one before i hand over the white one as its a total one off and if someone fucks it up thats it.
Who would you recommend?

Personally i dont know,
I presume you use forums for classic mini's maybe someone on one of those can recomend someone they have used.
Completely agree though you need it doing correctly for a one off.
There must be plenty of classic places that have sorted minfries out over the years

Theres bradley's in Stafford, but I'd recommend going onto www.theminiforum.co.uk and asking on there! If its just Paint and Body restoration mines going to the Paint Shop in Stoke towards the end of this year
