Post mini pics

Hello jere
Here are some pics from my mini .
As you can see a lot body work has to be done .
Floor panels sills wheel arches are corroded .
To keep the door panels in place i made som reinforcements.
I made some stand to make work on the body easy,so i can lift it 30 inch.

Thanks Henri:

Nice idea on the adjustable door support. Mind if I use that when I chop the top on my 56 Ford Pickup? Also nice stand for the car in photo #6. You could put some adjusters on it too to level everything out once the car is filly loaded.
