i have started on the drivers side now. mini is turned around in the garage. loads more rust this side. sill was made up from two sills and loads of patchwork pieces. all cut out and half way throw with replacing them.
having problems ordering the flipfront hinges from usa. may have to give them a miss and make my own.
i have also gone back on work i have done. i altered the passenger sill i had fitted a oversill and cut it down to a standard sill hard work but i think worth it in the end.

Rover 75 Boot hinges are pretty much spot on for the 'Uplifting' Flip front.
