hello all
I'm going to be removing the complete floor skin (Leaving in the cross beam) on my mk1 mini. I just wanted to know if there's any tips or pitfalls to watch out for?
thanks Mike

It won't be much fun driving through puddles.

make sure you brace up shell enough. did gf's and braced between both a posts and b posts and also across car between both a and both b posts then diagonally, with 20mm bar, probably overkill but didnt flex! before cutting anything. remove crossmember as is attached to inner sills which are floor pan. if i did it again would get full floor including outer sills from m-machine. remember heel boards are different on later cars

Thanks for the info.
Ive put a new boot floor in already, so its just the floor in the cab, but i'll brace it now you've said that.
thanks Mike

Hi The heal board isn't too bad, so thats staying, just needs a couple of repairs on the lip.

You won't want it to lozenge, so fix the diagonals where that'd matter - between the front & rear subframes & the door apertures. Have as much fitted as you can & test fit what you can't before you fully weld it up.
