I had always planned to do some paint in the engine bay. I wanted to sand it down and paint it black. I was also considering painting the bottom and arches with something like LineX or Raptor Liner so maybe this is the smart time to do that. Of course depending on how extensive the repairs required are, I might need a full resort which opens me up to new color choices. Either way, I think I’m going to start shopping around for a body shop. Shi…
I’ve been preparing myself to start removing parts and today I started to set up my garage so I could jack the Mini up. I bought a QuickJack recently because it was on sale for a low price and thought I might give it a shot (I’ll give more details on this once I’ve had an opportunity to use it more). But this required me to poke around under the car to find a solid lifting point. And this is where the trouble starts. Yes, that is a large rust hole. I’m not sure if this is supposed to be a drain hole or something but it certainly is now. I always knew I had some rust on the doors but I was naively thinking I had a decent body. Unfortunately the more I poke around, the more I find. Now I wasn’t planning on doing major body repairs because A) I’m not a body man and B) that was going to require significantly more cast and time commitment. At this point however it seems foolish to proceed without addressing the body issues.
