mines got rust, but that can be expected with a mini, also the doors have sagged, and A panels need replacing, along with wings, battery box, windscreen panel, windscreen surround, etc etc :) flip fronts hopefully being done asap, just need that pay check :)

[QUOTE]why oh why did i have a mini

why do any of us have MINI's, because we love then so much rust or no rust, i,ve stripped mine down all the way and still got some rust in hard to reach places, but they have been treated so hopefully the car won't fall apart around those bits to soon :grin: :wales:

Hey, how did you plate over the vents? Did you weld a new piece of metal over, or just cover them. Im interested as mine have rotted through and fallen off, hehe. If you welded them, how easy was it to weld with all the dash in place?
