update:

got the rear end in primmer today, next to do is the boot lid then i can move on to the sides of the car, starting with the passenger side as its already 75% done  . got my car cover in the post its abit too big for the mini, but it does protect it and it was £15 so i can't complain.

that was the 1st coat and you can see in the last picture the work that had to be done to the light, however this and a few scratches was all that needed sorting and so they were easily fixed 

gave it 1 more coat and thats how i finished the day, few places need sanding with wet and dry but really there isn't much that needs doing and so after another coat it will be completely finished 

looks so good being all one colour, makes the de-seamed mk1 rear look ace!

then on went the boot lid hinges to ensure it was all fitting well 

then he was tucked away for the night 

that is all, may be going to the sea side tomorrow so next update will be monday evening ......

wow going back to page 1 makes it hard to believe the difference from then till now

Up adage of the small amount of work I have done today, went to Hastings and got stuck in traffic so got home around 6:30 meaning I couldn't do a lot, managed to 800 wet the whole rear end down, filled in large pin holes and and low spots but that was all, I was hoping to sand the filler back in the morning and then give two more coats but if the weather pans out anything like the forecast then spraying will be of the agenda,

Applied filler

If it rains tomorrow then I will work on the drivers side and the bootlid, hopefully it doesn't come to that.....
