Well, to get my rear on topic again, look what I got!

Who said putting in headlining is a rotten job? No need for glue or tools with this kit. Just a tad more expensive

Of course, we both love rust, don't we, Onne?

And you're never on skype !:)

Posted: **Fri Feb 24, 2006 4:11 pm**

I am very busy with something.... I'll try and be more on Skype.

About rust, the floor needs new metal as well. Blimey...

well... Just think, You'll be ready for your third minor by the time you've finished with Victoria!

Posted: **Fri Feb 24, 2006 4:18 pm**

Yes I will be. Which would have to be a LCV. Or another 2dr

Hi Onne,
Looking at the sill pictures, the inner step seemed solid and had only a small bit of surface rust but mainly paint. Just wondering why you cut it out?

Posted: **Fri Feb 24, 2006 6:27 pm**

Actually I don't really know... I didn't nae cut it out. I did wonder why he did. But I asked him to replace the complete sill, and I now know also a bit of floor

Posted: **Sat Feb 25, 2006 10:18 am**

Yes, I agree with Ray, I would have kept the inner sill. A go over with wire brush on grinder and painting with rust retardent paint was all it needed.

What is very worrying is that you have also removed the a pillar as well as the sill and the floor being weak and not braced the door gaps!!

I hope you at least measured everything up. Twice. It looks like the chap who is on the cutting wheel is not that familliar with the structure of the minor!!!

Posted: **Sat Feb 25, 2006 1:11 pm**

It is braced. But not visible. Two braces going diagonally. I will warn him again though, because he is indeed not familiar with Minors. He normally does Mercedes

Posted: **Sat Feb 25, 2006 2:45 pm**

Lets hope it turns out OK!!!

Posted: **Sat Feb 25, 2006 5:31 pm**

I am keeping my fingers crossed now, you got me worried now. Fortunately, the general structure of the car is quite good.

I will go and ask why in 'eck he removed the inner sill

Posted: **Sat Feb 25, 2006 6:54 pm**

If its braced, it should be OK!! I was just worried that you'd lose the door gap!

Posted: **Sat Feb 25, 2006 9:58 pm**

It is not his first car to weld. You should see his Merc. That hasn't got any floor, just a bit of sill on either side
