I managed to get a pallet today so I can take the mini off the spit and get it onto a wheeled dolly thing!
Just need to get the under side of the car stone chipped and painted

Good news mate.
So is all of the filler work done on it now?

Really good day today!
Stripped all the sound deadening out of the floor, a bit of surface rust under there!
Also noticed this crack in the handbrake mount weld!
Really glad it was spotted, it'd be a little unfortunate if the handbrake came off in my hand!
It's been extra strengthened too!
Also got the fuel tank mounting bracket in, and a few other bits and bobs, unfortunately I kind of forgot to take any more pics!

I didn't weigh it Clive, but I would say about 5kg!
Bearing in mind this is just the rear floor pans and rear seat!

Sounds about right, surprising how much weight you can get out of a mini.I didn't weigh it Clive, but I would say about 5kg!It will be a few kg lighter as well now.

It'd be easier if I went on a diet and lost 2.5 stone!

Todays update!
I had to dig out a couple of 12G940 heads for something, so I used it as a reason to have a bit of a sort out, this has made quite a bit more space!
Then I finished off stripping the rear floors and back seat! The grinder with the twisted cup on can only be used for about 5 minutes at a time without making my arms really hurt! It's so out of balance now.
Anyway, the rear floor has now been rust treated and primered!

I know what you mean.
Before i cleaned up my floors last month and primed them, they looked rough and in poor nic but once i had done it, it looks like a major part of the shell has been finished!

Floor looks great. As does the rest of your work. What rust treatment and primer are you using? Can it be used on all car and ok to spray over.
Thanks
Thanks
