Picked up a U-Haul this morning to go pick up the mini from my buddies, I brought a cart to his place cause he needed it moved so I would have assumed it was on said cart, however when we arrive I noticed it was sitting on the broken wooden dolly I made, so with a little sketchiness and being light enough to pick the rear of the car up with two people we got it on the good cart and onto the trailer by winching it up with the ratchet straps
When I got it to the shop I got the vacuum out and cleaned all the seat foam and sawdust? Out of this thing, and fuck was there a lot, what they're wasn't a lot of though was the floor but I knew that
After I washed it I took a look inside the cylinders to see if there was anything wierd, cylinder 1 was the worst looking, visibly stuff inside the cylinder, the other 3 where ok, oil was ok with no sign of water and at the required level, regardless I sprayed a little wd40 (what I had at the time) in the cylinders to let them soak while I'm working on other things
Cause I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing suspension and brake wise I decided to start on the body cause regardless what I did it would need to be done, couple hours with a 8" sander and some 36grit it took it all off like it was nothing, popped a couple dents out, the one on the roof was the most satisfying
Anyway tomorrow I'll be working on the firebird hoping to.. idk tackle something, I'm on hold for a floor pan so I might put together the heater box assembly and put together the dash

Very nice!
What’s your plans for it?
Quite some holes but it's a fun little car u can do pretty whacked stuff too for cheap
Hey now that you got the sanding done on your mini, your should come over and help me with my Marlin 🤣
All jokes aside, classic minis are so cool and can't wait to see what you have planned with this one!
I wouldn't want to remove the awesome patina on that! I would just use linseed oil and drive it as is
