Made a start on this in the last few weeks.

I drove it like this not realising how bad it was for a while, its MOT exempt.

How it should look, here with my previous mini a couple of years ago, paid £930 for it in 2009 including the transferable reg worth £1500+ lol.

Now that is why I personally have never been able to support the MOT exemption. 

 

Hopefully you'll get it back to as good as new.

The floor is actually quite solid, patchy but solid, wire wheeled, kurusted, coat of red oxide, getting some light green smoothrite in the next few weeks to go over the lot.

Took the fuel tank out, cleaned it in and out and kurusted it, going to stone chip the bottom, green on the top seen in the boot.

I've cut the kick plates and finish rail off to access the inner sill, they are ok except at the rear end last bits, normally they have openings so I have drilled the big holes 3 in each side, hoover the loose bits out, waxoyl going in, red oxide going over the top and stainless steel removable kick plates will be the final job which will look nice and give access for more waxoyl each summer.

I know and I'm quite good at checking them out, I was having a poke around last year and thought, oooh might need a patch there, oops maybe not!
