doors, boot and bonnet after being dipped, pictures are not too clear but the finish after e-coating is very good, well impressed. Exposed a lot of dents where filler has been on the doors and boot and a bit of rot on the bottom edge of the passenger door.

YOU,LL NEVER GET THOSE DORS TO FIT THAT MINI.

Finally after two years I get my car back from the bodyshop. Now the job of putting it all back together awaits.
Work carried out at the body shop consisted of the following:

New outer sills both sides
New wings both sides
New drivers side floorpan front and rear in one section
New passenger side floorpan just the front
Repair to passenger side inner sill below the seat x-member
Bulkhead lip made and welded in
Scuttle panel replaced
Plenum chamber replaced
Repairs to the top of both inner wings upto the front of the strut top plates
Repair to passenger side inner wing where the anti rollbar clamps fit
Repair to floor underneath tank
Repair to floor in drivers side footwell, new floor panel didnt quite cover the rot area
New A post panels both sides
New splash shield panels both sides
New slam panel
Both doors replaced
Roofskin taken off 2nd hand roofpanel
Repair to bottom lip on tank
and probably more that i cant think off atm.

Car got delivered friday in the rain uncovered, so the first job was to dry it out.

Looks very nice and shineeeeeeeeeey! Have you refurbished everything to go back on or do you still have to do this before you can start fitting up?

Have refurbed quite a lot of bits but there is still plenty to do, aiming for may next year for completion so hopefully will have the time to get whatever else needs doing done.
