Looking good I have done similar to mine but currently at the filling stage, as for full floor I can honestly say it was the easiest way to repair a mini I had ever done. I would recommend going this way over half floors if you have the panel budget to cover.

The next job was to convert the frame into a roll over jig.

I wish i had taken more photos of the boot lid, doors and front scuttle area because there was a lot of work to get them looking like this!

now getting the bonnet to fit and panel gaps even, this was a bit fiddly but worked out ok in the end.

The whole shell was then primed in epoxy primer. Then seam sealer applied before painting the underside again in red epoxy mastic 2 pack.

A few more pictures

Finally off to the painters!

A few more photos

you must be chuffed with that!

Yes thanks i am very pleased especially when i look back and think about all the work i have done, i think its turned out better than i ever expected :}

That looks like a "result" to me.
All that effort has certainly paid off. Well done.

Now that does look lovely !!!!

I bet you can't wait to start putting it back together

I'm sure the finished car will be georgous!!

Cracking job there and lovely paint finish.

Makes me even more inclined to dig out my 68 Mk2 Cooper to restore it (for the 2nd time).

Beautiful, It will be a joy to build up from there!

Its been a while since my last update, these are the built up subframes ready to fit.

All plumbing underneath done and subframes on

Looking good, same wheels as I have to fit on mine when finished, I am a little behind you though.

Looking good.
Minis look good in all the 60s colours but there's just something extra about tartan red with black roof.

Not posted an update for a while, progress has been steady so will try and post a few more photos over the next few weeks. Loom is in and its on its wheels.
