After this, I discovered that the top part of the arch is heavily pitted, so this will be fully replaced.

 

Repaired the top section of the o/s rear quarted panel.

I found there's some further areas of the boot floor requiring attention and a small piece of the drip rail. As well as the rear arch replacement. I'll work through these next and strip the paint off of some other areas to ensure there's no rust lurking in them.

Water removal from cooling the air,I have similar and regularly drained it works.Steve..

ah ok so they're water traps then, fair do's, we dont have any hard lines, just the flexi hoses straight from the tank which has a water release key on the bottom

I only had an 8mm hose running along the floor before I set this up which just got in the way and it was only a matter of time before I hit it with some molten metal :). I'll see how well it works over the coming weeks as I have some touching up to do on the other mini
