Haha totally, they fit nice and flush but man what a pain to get off. I ended up grinding them off, very very carefully.

I ripped the back seat out, it was bolted to the body. Luckily the wood on the back of the seat broke, body was fine. The two L brackets holding the body to the gas tank are bolted with these stupids, I cut one off and pushed it into the engine bay. The others are a pain and I’m going through blades...

It looks like I have it disconnected everywhere except for these two stupid L brackets that are holding the body bolted to the gas tank. What sort evil person would do such a thing. I need to get the back seat off, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how it’s attached. Any thoughts? https://u...

So I think I have all the electrical disconnected with the exception of this red cable. Any clever way to get under there?

Awesome thank you! I will get to work and keep you updated.

It looks like you just about have it torn down. The body should just be bolted down to the pan round the outside edges and possibly a couple a bolts at the back of the pan. Once you have the body off, replacing your rusted pans is not that difficult as long as you can weld and have some fabrication...

Hi All! I was the lucky recipient of a 1960 Berry Mini T. I’ve always wanted a project and I though what the hell, let’s do this! The kids love the car obviously, and it will be a good activity for us to do together. The yellow color was slathered on there. The scope of the project was to strip the ...
