I plan to roll my Mini on its side during my restoration project to enable access to the underside of the floor. I haven't found any previous postings related to this topic. Is there a source of advice concerning preparation for this task? I will remove the drivetrain, rear subframe, doors, windshield, backlight, exterior trim, interior and lights prior to rollover.

I was a bit hasty with my question. I just did a google search, and found a number of related posts. I would still welcome comments from those who have done this. I don't plan to build a fixture, I simply plan to roll the car onto a suitable cushion and I want to ensure that I don't damage the body.

I have seen people use tires, mattresses etc. Just remember you will need something to keep it propped up.
If you are doing a lot of welding then whatever you use to lay the car on needs to be fire proof so mattresses, cushions etc are a serious no no unless you cover them with a fire blanket.
