Up to Christmas 2004

By Christmas 2004 we had made great headway into the drivers side, having got new floors in the front o/s and n/s and a new inner sill on the o/s.  The big problem was the A-Post and flitch repair.  I would certainly not recommend taking this on unless you are very competent with a welder.  Fortunately although Lucy and myself can't weld in the slightest, Lucy's dad, Frank, has been great throughout the project, and had endeavoured to help us along side his own Mini project.
