More parts off the Minor and it is nearly ready to go to paint, only a couple of small patches and rust holes   to weld properly- but I have not yet checked the sills! |

:)looks to be solid enough , or does it need much welding It has been really well looked after and there are only a couple of small weld repairs to do. I've now checked inside the sills and they are totally solid having been well rust proofed/waxoiled. |

I've developed a strange liking for 3 Litres recently - to me the front and rear styling is lovely. Just the middle bit that's shared with the maxi and 1800 let it down. To me the fact that it was such a monumental failure adds to its attractiveness.

Just a quick update - the bodyshell is still being prepped for paint and there was quite a bit more rusty metal hiding along the NS rear wing seam - so that is being attended to before it all gets sprayed.

Whilst the bodyshell and panels are waiting for spray time I have been ordering parts and cleaning trim panels.   |

Not forgotten!
The body shell was finally sprayed over the weekend so I was able to drive it round to my workshop today and make a start on re - assembling it. All the panels have still to be sprayed though........Pictures tomorrow as I didn't take my camera today.

Pictures as promised - but late!  I started at the back by putting the petrol tank back in and the two wooden boot floor sections.  Then I moved forward to start putting the new carpet and seats back in.  I have also put the rear side glass pieces in.  |

The front of the interior has now been trimmed but the front seats still need cleaning and bolting in place on the hinges.  |

Looks lovely in its new paint.
I really like 2 door Minor's. Great colour/trim combo on this one.
Keep the pictures coming.

Here are the two front seats in the cleaning process - trying to "gently" remove 50 years of ground in dirt! I have been using a mixture of cloths, tooth brushes, dilute fairy liquid, sparingly petrol......and a lot of elbow grease!  |

Reminds me of my old 69 trafalgar blue 2 door. But way, way cleaner than when I bought mine back after a few years of neglect from a shoddy owner. At least it's engine ended up doing service in a moggie pickup. Any photos of the welding and fabrication repair work done on your bosses?  |
