I am in the process of buying a early (59 model) Mini for the basis of a show car,I will get a specialist who has sprayed previous show winning Minis/Coopers to do the bodywork but wondered what things I could do to `future proof` the car? I was thinking if it might be worth my while in no particular order-
1,Having the the engine bay and underbody/wheel wells sprayed with clear coat to give it shine and protect it,like a metallic.
2,Coating the seams with sealant (brush on)
3,lacquering some of the polished engine components to protect them
4.Rustproof the car in the most unobtrusive way possible,so it doesn`t show.
ANY thoughts even if its just thoretical ideas would be most appreciated.ANY aspect of resoring a car to show standard not just the bodywork.
Cheers.
