Will be looking to take the rear end off , already stripped inside , 1275 lump is out and on the bench .

Good to see you've made a start on it - nice to have a rollover jig. Is that the original front bumper valence? It appears to be longer than usual (comparing it to my 1970 Traveller one which I've been re-painting today, as part of a frontal tidy-up) - possibly a van one? And what 1275 engine do you have - MG Midget or Marina/Ital?

[moggyminor16]

The bumper was just on it as had no where to put it lol . used to be on my saloon before we sold it on . its not straight as has been hit ( only blooming car in the carpark )
The 1275 is from MG midget

[moggyminor16]

Thats the same bumper just fitted right and old colour

[Chipper]

Good to hear you have a Midget engine - they do go rather well with them fitted. Are you going for any other upgrades, aside from the 'angel eye' headlamps?

[moggyminor16]

Its got
Mesh grill
Rover metro electric fan and rad .
Bigger carb .
Wella wheels .
Cherry bomb .
Tinited windows .
Rover metro rear seats .
Mx5 ( mk2) seats will be changing to astra .
Mini rear shocks
Going to fit shocks with springs on the front .
Possible disk con but unsure what going to use will be looking at that .
Big ice system to go back in .

Looks quite good

[moggyminor16]

New floors are in

Next to see if can take the rear end off in one go , if not then it'll be taken apart .
Hoping can come off in one go .

[Chipper]

Phew! Looks like it was pretty rusty. Nice job on the new floorpans.

Is all the boot area rusty as well, then?

[moggyminor16]

Floors wasn't to bad seen a lot worse lol .

As for the boot normal the rear lip has gone . got the new bit to go in . then will be adding more box sec to the rear in case of someone hitting it .
Unsure if the tow bar will go back on ( used to tow trailers and drag my old caviler caravan when needed to move it )

But yep getting there will be slowing down a bit now as weather is changing and I'm out side going it .....

[moggyminor16]

A good tip once you've got the floors out , make sure you don't leave the grinder undo tool inside the chassis leg
Before welding the new floor in ..
.
Yep I have recovered the said tool ;)

[moggyminor16]

Thats the back end off , a couple bits of wood to replace ( have most in loft already ) . some more bits to be cut and welded up . going to fit some 1 x1 inch angle in and some 1 x1 box in the back end . just for the in case , did it to my saloon and that did take a hard one and was fine .

[moggyminor16]

Sorry for the long wait
Well it's all nearly back together.
Cant work out to put a short clip up of it running .
