hi again

just come back from holiday so the work will start once again. i will start doing the driverside inner wing. needs cleaning up a bit
so thats what i'm gonna crack on with

6-7-2009

right finally got round to doing some bits to the mini

i ave cut of the drivers wing as it was just completly rustly hadnt even been under sealed anyway here's a pic of it removed

once i had removed the wing i found more rust on the inner wing just the top part where it had been patched before and also at the bottom where it had been patched. the centre just had surface rust so got the angle grinder out and cleaned it up. then just had to spray a bit of primer to stop it from doing it again. Oh i also had to grind all of the exsess metal from the wing. and also got the bloody door off just snapped 2 torks bits and then had to just undo the top hinge. the passenger door is still on it's gonna have to be grinded off.

then i got round to cleaning both door steps up the driverside is fine but the passenger needs replacing and panel to add to the list.

Then i left the panel work to 1 side whilst i cracked on getting the engine out.

its in there still at the moment because i cant get the driveshafts to pop out will give it another bash tomorrow in some time in the week.
so thats what i ve done so far.
should get some more pics up next week
