The reason for this is because I am making a 1 piece floor, sill and door step and need to bend 2 angles in it.

Hey all, just thought I'd tell you all I'm off to the garage tonight to make a 5 foot long bending machine.
The reason for this is because I am making a 1 piece floor, sill and door step and need to bend 2 angles in it.

Long time, no update!
Anyway, the floors are nearly done!! Yes I know its taken me long enough, but you'll see why when you see the pictures. I also had to make a bending machine to do the floor.
Anyway, here they are.

Cheers :grin:
To do... Structural stuff first!
Need a decent shell to work with. Rear inner arches need replacing. Small bit in boot needs replacing.
Then, if thats all the structural, I suppose I can get on with deseaming it!
Also, just purchased some Mk1 Lights from Minimadjonesy. Got to say, that guy is ace to do business with! So I need to weld in some adapter plates on the back for those.
And also got to incorporate a fog light into the rear valance some how, the standard hanging one is just a discrace :nugget:

im also just starting out on a mini restoration just bought the whole front end panals from mini sport in padiham for about £230.
front panal
2 door sills
2 wings
and the shuttle panal
this mini was in a real bad way when i got it for £200 but had £2000 spent on it by previous owner 6 years ago. i think it will be a good one to get back on the road.
