[quote="Ratty"]I bought this for Mrs Rat last Monday

As it was when it arrived home




Now a few piccys of it after owning it for 6 days















Hope you like

Day 8 - Not much done today, I got the old flitch panel removed and prepared for the new panel, just the bottom of the windscreen to sort now and then get the welder out

There wont be any updates for a few days as the weather is not looking good until Saturday, so the min has been tucked up is a warm blanket




Day 13

After much deliberation upon discovering the A Post was shot I've decided to replace the whole A post and O/S inner wing.

So it was out with the, drill, dremel and grinder again







Day 14 of ownership

Finished work @ 3, collected inner wing, got to work on the min

Only screwed on at present, hoping to get it all welded up tomorrow night









Day 15

The panels and big hole required to replace the A Post and inner wing









Day16 rain rain rain

So I put up the gazeebo to work under

The front is all screw on now, just got the final panel alignment to do before I fire up the welder

Anyhoo on to the pics








Its a mini again almost




Day 26

After not having any time this week thing have slowed down but I got the inner wing, bulkhead and scuttle done today












Day 27

N/S almost ready for A panel



Hole in O/S floor to deal with



Removed rear subframe and found more holes





Sheared off one N/S bolt, i'll weld a nut on to remove it but at least the heal board looks ok



The old subframe Mmmmm, remember this still has over 8 months MOT





It fell over



Bottom cleaning ops: horrid job




Bit more tin worm to kill



Day 51

Well Brother is now married, the sun is shining so I spose I ought to get me fingure out



Bit of bird shit ops:



Little better



New bum



Day 52

Scooby scooby doo





The last few rusty bits first















The floor panel marked for cutting



Few repairs







I need sleeeeeeeepppppp

Day 60

Only a quick update for today




Day 61

More tin worm to kill




Doobery doo





Paint prep at the front cos I got borred of welding



Day 65

Good bye paint







Thats it for the time being

Hello everyone the car above belongs to my Mrs she has always wanted a mini but alas we couldn't find a good one so I've been having to get my hands a little dirty (yup thats me in the overalls)

Thanks very much for all the kind comments so far with the build here is a few more pics to laugh over

Inside nearly ready for painting





Outside prep continues



Gazebo spray booth starts to take shape



Also finished painting and applying stone chip to the underside and got the black Mayfair's engine running. Then I fixed the siezed clutch and took it for a little drive around the yard, all seems to be working well enough for a transplant into the brown bomb once it has been painted. This will give me some much needed extra time to build the 1275 engine to go in next year

Once this car is finished I shall be making a few changes to my track car (the car under the blue tarp) and then I'll start on the black mayfair which will recieve either a Red Top, A Vtec or a VVC K Series engine

If your intrested I'll keep this update as I progress

I work in IT, so this is purely a hobbiest attempt

Read plenty, try techniques on scrap then the car. I have done a few other projects before mainly nuts and bolt stuff though

My Sierra LX Cosworth

My 320bhp per ton track toy aka the Gooon

Looking good

Bit more paint to sand off the outside still, but it's time consuming and boring. I've sanded two corsas back to metal and it takes forever

I love Minis, but I don't really see the point in this project. If it was a 1275GT or a Cooper I could understand, it just seems an awful lot of work to restore a City though! Cool colour though!
