Blasted and home sweet home.

Looking good in the daylight !

The mini wasnt going to fall off anytime soon with my best double 

alfred hitchcock knott ;-)

The sandblasting revealed all the previous welding work and holes left by the rust

which really isnt very bad at all I think.

Even the engine bay is now nice and clean and ready to crack on with work.

Interior looking pretty clean, will be a pleasure to do some surgery on !

Tommorow I will get some pics on of the doors and boot and bonnet lid.

Then down to the nit and gritty cut and welding work.

Sandblasted !

After bringing the mini shell to the sandblasters last Saturday I could collect 

it today after getting a call it was ready. So got on the phone to my very kind parents in-law

and asked if i could borrow their van and trailer once again.

Got the van and trailer and zoomed off  to get the mini shell !

When I arrived at the sandblasting company their he was waiting for me and 

much to my very pleasant surprise their was stil alot of mini left over ! 

After a bit of a check the hole's from the rust really werent as bad as I thought they 

would be.

The guys at the sanblasters were very thourough yet carefull with their work leaving the side panels

and roof to be done by hand not wanting to misform the panels due to heat and pressure in the blast cabin.
