Update - Friday 11/03/09

purchased some new sheet metal niblers so that I could do some metal fabrication work.



I needed to cut out some sheet metal to patch up the rear seat bin







I purchased a new rear floor panel to replace the rust I cut out. The only problem is that I have removed the rear companion bin so I needed to add some metal in.

It was quite enjoyable to do but took ages....probably because I haven't a clue what I'm doing really.

Well I haven't really done it before. I'm very new to fabrication and welding so at the moment I quite like doing it. I must admit that I will be glad when it's all done though.

Well it's been a while since I last updated the project thread. I have been very busy with the mini but just haven't had the chance to upload pictures and update the project thread on here.

I've tacked in new front and rear drivers side floor pans and I have done quite a lot of fabrication work on various panels. I'll get some new pictures uploaded in the next couple of days.

I've also just purchased a car body spit/roller from a guy on eBay to make working on the project a bit easier....pics to follow.

Luke.

Looks like a good project. Liking the retro theme with modern carbon fibre touches. I wanted to do something similar but the price of carbon fibre took it out of the option list!

Thanks it's starting to come together...well sort of. Carbon is expensive but I find that spreading the costs makes it seem less painful although I have got about 2 grand on carbon still to go!

Cheers, Luke.
