This is the front right arch, that is where the filler and metal work has come apart

NOTE: All those pictures above do not include, rear inner arches, rear valence, inner sills, or new sills, as it has oversills on it

Hmmm. You've got your hands full there.

Try and cut out as much rust as possible and replace with new steel.
All the repair panels are available from M- machine and the like.
Don't be downhearted, I've repaired far worse than yours in the past.
Just think of the pleasure you'll have driving it after all your hard work.

They could of bought a f/g shell with the amount they spent on filler!

even though the Mini is tucked up in the garage, im using the rain as an excuse for a lack of progress

Well I've decided I may aswell make something of my rear seats if Im not carying passengers, and Im gona do a rear seat install, hopefully pick p the sub tomoro

but bodywork is gonna come first.

Decided my amp needs a color change, and when I get one for the sub it will go the same

So rubbed down & primered it for tonite
