Default The MiniNut 4x4 rebuild
As the big ends are now shafted because the oil pump failed, i thought i would use this opportunity to do some changes to the car that i've had planned for some time. I took some pictures of the cutting i've done so far...






All the lovely leather out...





The passenger side door has been reskinned...





The drivers side needs the same treatment but the frame is shafted and i need another...





A very sad picture



Back seat structure removed...






I've cleaned up where i'm planning to tub the rear arches...







Will post more pics once the rebuild progresses.

Started the tubbing today, taking a lot longer than i thought. Not so easy with only 1 body to weld and fire watch!!



I'm surprised at how much the quarter panel warped with the heat. Luckily nothing a dolly and hammer won't fix.

I'm getting Security certificate errors with your latest pics Maz.
The early ones appear fine, but I have to accept the error to see the later ones

yeah, i got that, i can't understand why as they're all hosted from the same path on the same machine.

Edit, pictures sorted now, should be no security issues.
