So if I don't suffer too badly from going out tonight and the rain holds off a bit over the weekend, think its time to rip the carpet out of the mini and be horrified at yet more rust ...

Nope :( bolts holding the door on apparently caused massive issue to get out or something along those lines. Hopefully should be ready tomorrow although might not be able to pick up till Tuesday cause of work :( having serious withdrawal syndrome esp after how nice it was this weekend :( how's pingu?

I have a similar issue. My mini is in the garage but it is boxed in with loads of parts stripped off my Mondeo. I need to sell them so I have the space to work
