As I have posted on the introductions , I acquired my current Mini last year - I am not totally new to ownership but this is the first time I will be tackling a project alone. I have no previous experience of welding or fixing bodywork , just of the mechanical bits!
Basically the shell is generally in pretty good condition - the wings , front , roof, gutters , are rust free . The floor and sills however are another matter . They have clearly been patched before and not to a good standard.
From the pictures below, (I can get more) , would you agree that they are beyond repair so to speak and that I am looking at new floor plans and sills at the very least?
I have spent a few weeks reading the excellent guides here but it still seems daunting - should I man up and give it a whirl myself or is this realistically a difficult task?
It seems a shame for me to hack an otherwise good car to bits before asking the question ?.
The pictures show footwell, floor and sills.
Many thanks
