Hi all,

Yep - all great advice and I am glad to read that as long as you do things carefully, methodically and organised it may not be that bad (famous last words huh).

I bet you certainly appreciate your mini much much more if you have handled every single part of the car as well.

Looks like I am feeling confident in giving it a go and I do have a spare garage to take over! Won't be now but soon.

Cheers all!
Rob.

It may be easier/quicker to por15 the floors, sills and gutters if thats the way you want to go (por15 is a rust proof paint - do a search for it on here and there's a bit of info)

Have to admit I don't particularly like the idea of playing around with lead vapours and will go the rust proof paint method.

Cheers and thanks for the advice and patience everyone.
Rob.
