Go ahead, push a screw driver through the brown potato chip. My floors can spare some despair.

But your door panels look good?

As dated as that seat fabric is (reminds me of a 90s doctor’s office) I dig it in this context.

Water came in through a split window gasket, settled into corners, despair set in. (Previous owner )

You have a Mini? How did I miss this?

I’ve been doing bodywork on mine since 2009!

Thank you for the link and info. You cut a hole in the back? Many have mounted to the rear shock tower but you didn’t, why?

Because I didn’t have confidence in the rear shock towers, because rust. And the single pole was really solid. Welding back the hole is about 0.00003% of all the welding I did on this
