    Amazing build a real credit to yourself and Pete. Very nice to sell it back to its original owner and keep it in the family. Look forward to checking out your 89 build now!

      Hey thanks Hadyn yes I was a shock when Pete took her back off me but the time was right and I was glad she went to a good home plus I see her regularly which is ace. I hope you enjoy the 89 build that’s a very different one.

    What a stunner Marc. Incredible what you did to that shell and what a fitting finish undertaken by Pete. That is one very special little car that deserves the pampered life it will get going forward. Cap doffed to you both. We need a project budget clubman - part 2. That shine, what a colour, what a paint job, what a cracker. Thoroughly enjoyable watch.

      Thanks Darren for those kind words. It really has been my favourite project yet and I can’t want to do another clubman one day. Pete mate absolutely loves the car and we are both proud of how far it has come for sure. Thank you to you for supporting the build 👍

    I was lucky enough to see this car in person at l2b and can honestly say it looks as amazing on camera as it does off camera (if not better!). I love the colour and the fact it helped prove that you don't need tens of thousands of pounds to restore a car! Great work!👍

    I agree with everything Pete has done to Amber but IMO the 1275GT badges and stripes would spoil it. It's not a GT and it doesn't need to pretend to be one, it's brilliant the way it is.

    • @SimpsonsClassics

    Hello, I seem to remember watching an episode where you cut and polished this mini with G3 and/or other compounds. Please would you point me to that video and/or let me know what you used and in what order as I need to refinish the right bum of my Vespa 300 GTS. Thank you in anticipation of your help, Best regards David,

    • @SimpsonsClassics
      @SimpsonsClassics  2 года назад

      Hi there David thank you for your watching. Yes I started to polish this car then my good friend wanted to buy it so it got professionally finished off. My method was to flat the paint with a fine paper like 3000 2500 then go in with the G3 then move on to the light compound after and keep going until your happy but obviously avoid burning through 👍

      @mkdave1955 2 года назад +1

      @@SimpsonsClassics yes, I thought you used G3 and I do have some very fine sandpaper. eBay advertises 500ml of G3, G10 and G3 wax for £31, so I think I’ll go with that and be gentle.
