rotisserie and panel repair question
Turbo Mini Forums

hi there i thought i would ask this question on here as you guys seem to repair or rebiuld whole cars out of nothing.

i have a 1974 mini clubman Aus version. i have to replace the boot floor as it has been firbeglassed at some stage, the rear seat in the boot section has had bad patch put in and i know that it will be bad underneath, i also bought a new parcel shelf as here in Aus they knock back your car for roadworthly certificate (RWC) for rego if there has been holes cut in it for speakers etc.

it has the hole in the back seat that came from factory, but the panel repair section i got doesnt have it. how do i go about repairing/replacing the sections, what steps do i do first etc.
If i build a rotisserie where do i bolt all this to as i have to cut the rear seat out boot floor and parcel shelf, do i use the rear shock bolts to mount the rear, where do i brace up before removing the panels in question. I know where to bolt at the front but at the rear :?:

Have put some pics up of what i have and the panels i bought. i know i have to strip the subframes, wiring etc out before i do anything. yes i know the holes dont look that bad in the parcel shelf ive seen worst but some people are now really bad with old cars and want to defect them for anything, they say it looses streghth in that area.

please help. any advice would be great.



thankyou robert

My rotisserie was bolted through the shock mount holes like you said. I braced the
rear arches as my boot floor had to come out.

If I was doing this I would leave the rear bulkhead in place and just add repairs to
the bottom, then put the boot floor in and then the parcel shelf

I have done all these repairs apart from the parcel shelf, have a look in the builds
on here its 'MK2 Cooper'. Would put a link up but I don't know how

thanks mate at least its a start to something, i just didnt want to cut different sections out and have it fall apart on me
