Superb attention to detail again Pete.
There is nothing in the world like rear sills to induce procrastination
Its such a horribly complex set of shapes and such little reward

Nice job on the diff
I do indeed, that's why this isn't finished. Been at it 12 months now Bit the bullet today though -
Cut the sill stiffener out
Then split this other stiffener from the inner sill
New piece being cut
Bottom of arch needs chopping out and all
Suppose it's allowed to be rusty, you forget its 25 years old

Attention to detail amazing as always Pete
How much more do you think you've got to go?
arry
I can see light at the end of the tunnel now I'm sorting the rust down the OS sill at the moment and the sills need welding up. Then the shell is ready for paint. I'm gonna take the doors, bonnet and hatch off to do a proper job. I'm trying to clear out the garage (haha) to spray everything in there but need to stick a half built Mini somewhere 99% of everything else is done, Ive just a few bits to blast and paint. Everything I've refurbed so far has been wrapped up and stored in boxes. The problem is the boxes are just full of "random" parts It's going to be one monumental jigsaw puzzle when I come to re assemble it Expect some "where does this bit go" posts
