Looks like it coming along now

What paint have you used on the floor?

Keep up the good work!

[jack_marshall]

Cheers dudey :cheese:

It's just some cheap etch primer brushed on the bare metal to try and keep the rust off while I carry on with other things!

[dean_chad]

alright buddy thats some work you have done there! looking good though. how long has it taken you to get that far?

[jack_marshall]

Long enough!

But I've had exams and other stuff between. So its been on and off... but constant. Like I did 4 saturdays in a row... but then didnt see it for another 4...

But slowly and surely its getting there!

Now I've learnt to well half decent, it'll be alot quicker as I can get on with the de-seaming without waiting for my dad to lend me 10 minutes here and there to seam weld.

Cheers!

de bumpered and deseamed minis with mk1 styling look magic!! i had mine de bumpered but not de seamed as the sprayer wanted too much!! if you aint had a look check it out, called my mini project under my name, miniman86, keep up the good work mate, well done!

[jack_marshall]

Thats re-assuring!

Wasnt sure how the Mk1 style with no seams and bumpers would look... But I thought long and hard and did a few mocks in photoshop!

Cheers dude, Ill go look at yours now!

P.S Like my seamless and lumpless sills?

Didnt see the point in deseaming without doing it proper!

[jack_marshall]

Bit of de-seaming anyone?

[advantage998]

looking good. The only thing with the floors like that is there going to make a lot of noise and a legal requirement for the mot is that if you welding where there wasnt already a seam/joint it has to be a continuous weld

[jack_marshall]

Yep.

Continuous joint on the outside. Doesnt matter on the inside. The new floor goes back about another 3" further underneath than it does inside becase it goes all the way to the next rib!

And I'll put some kind of sound deadening back down, just not sure what yet.
