I am currently restoring a Rover Mini cabriolet. I have decided to film it and youtube it as it is going to be quite extensive inc full floor replacement. I have started the filming at taking the floor out stage as this is quite tricky and may help someone who may wants to do the same. This is a link to the first episode you will be able to find the other episode on my channel with more to follow, the next episode should be up next week.
