Well heres a few pics of the major areas of body work that I'm tackling at the moment
This was covered in fiberglass..... there was more or less no metal left underneath it
This side was abit better.... but there was alot of filler
I found this when I decided to take out the passenger side rear window because I wanted to check a questionable looking bit of rust.... the hole was full of filler.... lucky me
I found this when I was playing with the dash..... it was also full of filler.....
Passenger side inner sill was taken out today as a well aimed screw driver would go straight though it.... luckily the outer sill is still solid
This is the outside of one of the mounting plates that were put in when the Mini at some point had a roll cage..... I think having this done to it is the main reason why its so bad in places.... the different mounting plates were badly installed and have lead to some of the rust since they are full of holes... and as you can see they didn't finish them on the outside at all, more work for me to do to pretty them up abit
And now the worst bit.... the drivers side sill is gone straight through inside and out (a well placed finger will make a new hole in some parts) and the door step is gone in places too.... so shall require a complete replacement...... its scary to think that I was being towed home in this.... if I was hit from that side me thinks I would have died horribly..... ahhh well
