No Excuses!

A while back I posted about me needing to spend some effort on my mini before the rust got a hold...
Well, I've (now) gone from this:









To this






Inside the boot: (large piccie)

More pics aswell showing my stainless hard fuel lines that I never want to have to do ever again:

And finally my even further modified bulkhead... Been planning on doing this for the past 9 years ever since i first ran the original lines!!!

Welding stiffening plates and Rolling-road tie-down eyes to the front subframe tomorrow, and hopefully re-fitting the front and rear subby's.
Best laid plans eh - wonder what I'll ACTUALLY achieve, given how long it's taken me to get past this horrible hurdle... (I hate bodywork)
*laughing**laughing**laughing**laughing**laughing**laughing**laughing**laughing*


oh - and I've not been fannying about painting the undeside or bulkhead because I actually want to drive the bugger this year! I suspect I'll be taking it off the road for a big resto in a few years time - and the underside and bulkhead wasn't as critical to 'catch' as the boot floor was...

Looks good Dave, I especially like the channel for the fuel lines to run in.

Make sure you get buckets of clear waxoyl all over that underside!
