Sanded down the rear subframe, using a mouse sander, the bit which couldnt be reached had to be done by hand :teehee: Painted the subframe in a coating of red oxide paint

Also given the floor its top coating of vermillion red! roud: That grey stone chip takes alot of covering! Will use white stone chip next time I think, oh well, at least i know that its well protected underneath

Rear Valance has also been painted in cellulose vermillion, can polish and buff it up nicely!

The radius arms have been cleaned up and restored ready for painting as with the brake backplates.

Here are the pictures of the progress so far

That's a lot of work, but bloody well done! You can never do too much to rust proof a Mini!

It's mucky but still NO rust.

Nice car, Stu

Lovely job. One you should be proud of.

[mini_lund]

Fully wax-oiled the floor using '3M' attatched to the compressor. Also fully waxed the subframe and components, Its not as shiney now >_< , but it will protect it so I guess thats what matters! :thumbsup:

Here's the pics: (Note: Gold painted subframe pin, I had to do something different! ;D)





Subframe back in place:









As you can see, the subframe touches the floor of the Mini, I guess this was [u]due to the accident[/u], when everything was thrown out of line:

More progress for you petrol heads!

Pictures speak more than words:

















Passenger floors:







Currently doinf the passenger floor, cut out alot of rot and made some pieces to button weld in place, which is much stronger than welding all around the edge!

Everyday car when its complete Will be carefully looked after and drived sensibly by me as its an 850 and this car deserves a nice relaxed easy life! Lots of family history, so im holding onto it and never letting to.

As it stands =]

Fantastic progress

[Mini_Lund]

Some more progress has been made on the passenger floors

made a piece out of metal, cut it formed it and bent it in place, cut out some weak metal from the floor pan and then bent a lip on the metal, to form the floor pan. The next step now is to weld it in place.
