on his behalf (as i have taken the pictures of certain parts of the build) here is some of the work recently carried out to jimbos mini. im sure he has plenty of pics he has taken himself to add, but he asked me to start this off for him with my pics so here it is......
previously, i took his car in to fit a complete new front end, however for the life of me i cant find the pictures i took of his car whilst i was doing that, however, he dropped the car off to me a week or so ago for me to look at some rust he found in the rear companion bins. after a quick look it was evident a "patch up" wasnt going to do it, so the rear subframe came out, very easily!
as you can see the rot around the rear subframe mounts on the heelboard was pretty bad, i only had to undo the rear mounts and then it all came out! it was pretty much the same story on the other side too!
as you can see here, by the time i had cut out the rot, i was left with this (ok i know its the other side, but i didnt take pics of everything) it has already had some repairs done in the past so i had to remove some of the other patches to be left with a nice neat hole.

and then the outer skins added on....
its worth pointing out that although i consider this to be a good solid job, and a proper lasting repair, it is not to my highest standard. this is because, as poor jim bought his car in thinking it may be a days work, only to find it was a pretty big job, im having to do my best to keep his bill down! therefore this is repair work, not restoration work (if you know what i mean)
