got lost so here it is again

right the lil esscy needed some work to become perfect once again

In her own garage half stripped down


Innards just vasished


Panels to help with the job


Undernieth





tank out


lil protection thanx to dave and andy


Both outer seat mounts needed replacing




more stripping





and today got the inner sill repaired and the other seat mount made up



seemed to of lost the pics of inner sill so will grab some next time

almost all undeseal has been stripped off and mostly painted
more to come next week hopefully
on with the mini 2moro

 

lil update after pissing around finally got 1 more done

untill next week

The inner sill/floor pan from last time


drivers side outer seat mount


both seat mounts double welded and reinforced using metal that it 5 times thinker so it shouldnt flex as much

 

lil update

decided to see wat excatly needed doing on 1 of the inner rear arches
so finaly after a long day its almost ready for the new panel, just a lil tidying up and itll be ready to put in

the inner arch was fooked to say the least from well everywhere lol and a few dodgy patches from previous mechanics didnt help so rather than piss about i choped it all out and make it look decent. Amasingly the outer arch is fine just a lil more surface rust to get rid of and itll be good as new 8)





sealed the filler neck panel aswel as they are a fooker for starting rot

hopefully more next week

 

todays update

decided to get the inside holeless again so is now all welded up (3 in total)
-drivers side front floor pan where it joins the sill (because of some twat lifting the car up on it) all straightened and welded up
-drivers side rear floor pan where it joins the sill needed replacings
-and a lil patch on the end needed doing aswell

just needs seam sealing now and the inside will be complete




untill next week hopefully

 

there was more but the site went down and lost alot of it

hope u like
