Half the car is solid (back and one side)



Started on the other side today, and tomorrow should see this part of the inner sill finished, then it's door step, heelboard, rear quarter, and outer, then I get painting, undersealing, and rebuilding it so it's half rolling

 

Looking good!!

 

Cheers, will look better when it's welded in lol

 

All completely solid, ready for door skins, a front end, then a suspension rebuild, and put them on the car, so it rolls, then it's paint time.

Another update in a min

 

 

First panel sanded to bare metal, fillered and etched in 2k


And front subby stripped

As this will morph into a road rally/track day/ daily car I am re inforcing it. Bracing it, seam welding it, and re painting it.

Just to prove I'm actually doing something

 

Looking good pal.

 

Cheers. Just want it done to be honest. Running out of enthusiasm at the min

 

Looking good, see you've got some nice GAZ dampers on here, should help the already good handling.

 

Yeah, definitely. Will have to set them to soft as the route to college isn't exactly smooth though haha

 

Steaming along I see, top work

I dug out some ap 4pots I had laying around if there any good to ya

 

Yeah, making sure it can be converted to rally spec if needed And yeah definitely! They'd be very useful!

 

Ok cool I've got some drive flanges and cv joints too

 

Oh right, you sure? And they'd all be put to good use. After a years ncb I'm gonna do some rally prep me thinks. Re inforcing the rear strut tops and huge reinforcing plates for the front subby

 

Yeh bin there a while was gonna put them up for sale

 

Cool, sounds good. Will ping you a PM in a bit about em then

 

No worries

 

Front subframe 90% rebuilt, painting some odds and sod, then touching the lot up, and then it's onto assembling the rear up, and as the shell says,



it's going for soda blasting when the companies I asked for quotes stop being complete ******

 

Beebity beep beep, Oh time for another mini update



Of course. Today, the god all mighty scuttle itself was fitted, and got 1 closing panel on. Also got the steering rack on, changed the track rod ends, got the front subby on, and next weekend will see the front end built up, maybe the rear end built up, and possibly rolling. Then it's time to reskin the doors. In january it's a weekend rebuilding the engine, and I'm shipping it home for paintwork to commense

Also, the car is going to be the original white, and it is going to look like millermilla's mini

 

fuckinell you've had to replace a few panels there eh.

 

Haha just a bit. Was a bit shagged. Looking at another mini soon too!

 

Top work matey. Keep up the good work.
