Nice

Was the panel after market?

They were too lazy

Glad to see this project back on track sir.

A mini car.

Personally, I am still sceptical about this central pick-up mod, at least for road cars. I wonder how long before that much smaller intake screen starts to starve the pump of oil. Fine for race and rally cars that experience much higher g forces and are likely to have the engine reworked frequently, but for normal use, it seems like less protection rather than more.

if im replacing rubbers I just cut them out

Did yoh feel it is much easier to do the whole heelboard as one piece rhen doing each side repair if the middle part of the heelboard assembly is still good ?

Nice work, my 61’s about this stage but now on the back burner again as my 85 has just come back from the painters👍

It's coming along nicely!

Good work - well done

Are you using a mig or tig

Amazing

Love your vids , we’re you able to make a vid on the finish heelboard

Nice work, looks like you’ve got gaps on the panels👍

Witam hej😃

First video found your channel and new sub. Thanks for sharing

EVERYTHING...on a Mini is a 72 step process. Looking wonderful though, GREAT JOB! Greetings from Arizona!

Nice work and thanks for sharing 👌

Nice work, there’s not many panels that fit without a fight nowadays. 👍

Did you remove the transfer gear roller bearing? I was waiting for that at the very end? My bearing puller catches on the needles so I don't wand to damage the casing using the slide hammer.

Before you weld in the rear strengthen mounts in the boot you need to get the heel board in place. You could just tec screw it in place but get the subframe up and make sure the frame mounts into place before welding in place. Brushable seam Sealer is a good friend for the roapy areas of welding 😆. Braver man than me removing a boot floor. 👏. Great work

Seam sealer is going to be your and my best friend for hiding the welds on the rear bulk head to boot floor panel. But at least it's plenty of strength!

Looking good. Can’t wait to see you do the heal board

What size wire are you using in your welder?

Just double check the quarter panel drip rail panel, normally they are on the inside of the boot floor closing panel inside the companion bin. If you have it all welded in place maybe grind it back so your heelboard sits flush with the boot floor and closers.

Looks good keep up the good work

getting better and better with your skills on every update. loving the progress.

Keep at it! There’s a definite satisfaction in removing old rusty metal and putting in fresh stuff.

Your welds are looking way better

Your welds are starting to look better

Welds are looking good

Great video

love that new intro video.

Nice job

Sweeet patch!

getting better every video sir. loving it

Love seeing another classic car saved and kept on the road.

Great video looks like your getting the handle om welding

Another damn fine video

Great video

Nice work RJ what gage metal you using for your patches

Nice work…. Some adjustments may be needed when you locate both wing and front panel, but you can sort it out at that time

Dude… you can do it! I’m in the same boat. I still screw up with the welding, but as a friend says “it’s only metal and it can be repaired”. Glad to see another DIYer here in the states!
