Fellow Minioids,  Here are the pics of my 1965 Austin Mini that I just had sandblasted.  The sandblasting worked great and did not warp any panels.  I then drove the Mini home and shot a high build epoxy primer over the bare metal before any oxidation could occur.  Lots of rust and pinholes as the car had been sitting for 17 years.  Most of the rust had actually occurred prior to the past 17 years as there was bondo and a second coat of paint over rust.  Something like 43 panels and metal bits to order from M-Machine soon and a new rear subframe.  I am looking for a right side door if anyone has one for a fair price.
