[mini danny]

Cheers guys really appricate it !!!!

Today I soon relised that moving a mini without a rack is a pain in the backside,

So fixed the rack up with some paint new boots and track rod ends, then got it fitted and much easier to move about, also then fitted 10's on the front instead of 12's

The rack





I then had a quick tidy up and removes the rear door skins off to see how bad they are,












Back doors















One of the doors need minor repairs other one needs a whole new bottom and top repairing/replacing but should keep me busy for a few hours, ran out if welding wire today so couldnt get shell finished, will pop to machine mart this week hopefully and grab some wire,


More updates coming soon, have for all my motivation back now to get her done !!

[minimissions]

Cool look forward to seeing how they turn out all the rest of that just looks like surface rust :)

[mini danny]

Cheers buddy ya the doors have a lot of surface rust but should all be fine after blasting

[mini danny]

Well I've order the last few bits now drivers door skin should be here today along with the rear panel for the passenger rear door.

I think that's all the panels I need to buy now apart from a decent bonnet.

Thanks Dan

Haha good lol


And today I've gone a bit back wards and forwards at the same time,

Removed all the subframes again, as was going to get my mate to paint it and under seal it all, but decided it would be easier for me to do it here and save him some time, so went to my local paint shop this morning and spent 260 quid !!! Got all the primer,Seam sealer,panel wipe and raptor for the underneath

Bits I brought



So subframes back off,



Time to start stripping all the paint off so it's back to bare metal



Getting there.



Inner wing ect all stripped



Still loads to do, but will crack on tomorrow.

Had my little helper down today....my 2 year old little boy....as they say start em young !!!



Thanks Dan
