i have been painting the inside floor.

Also have cleaned up the surface rust on the new sills i did as i hadn't painted them (oops). Hammerited them and then lots of gooey underseal got slapped on.

gonna take the front wheels off and clean and underseal the front wing flitch panel area

[miniboo]

here is the floor and nice 8 ball gear knob.

also i found out why the drivers window hasnt been working to well. the runner that the glass sits in has gone very rusty and was catching.

can i get this on its own or do i need a whole regulator?

today I have re-installed the interior carpet and seats, it actually looks like a proper mini again.

also gave it a wash. even though i have changed the window and door seals i still seem to be leaking water at a few points.

just need to put the new front windscreen in and i might just book it in for the dreaded MOT!!!!!!!!

minor wiring fault with the front nearside headlight to sort aswell!!

speaker pods have had a couple of layers of glass on them now and are ready for covering and fitting.

i'm guessing the slight leak might be the missing front screen

[miniboo]

[miniboo]

Right then MOT is booked for Saturtday Morning!!!! Hopefully it'll pass!!
