rite recently brought my mini and have only found a few rust holes, have brought a new pannel for hte rear subframe mounts but the one question i do have is the pannel in the pic which has a arrow to it, what it is as i need to replace it, also is it important or can it just be cut out and left out the only thing i can see that bolts to it is the front bottom seat belt but am having harnesses....

cheers rob

bump, anyone, its just i want to get this sorted asap and i rele cant see why this part cant just be taken out....

Is that what where the rear bin used to go? I can't picture or remember what it's like.. A bigger picture would help, showing more of the area. I'm sure someone else would know.

yea mate thats where the rear bin used to go, the part im on about just sits between the two sills.... anyone had this problem before...

The part with arrows is part of the inner sill/floorpan. Not advisable to just cut it out as it providing support for the subframe mounts amoungst other things.

but if i was to reweld it with plate that would all be ok yea?
