Classic Mini Cooper Sportspack Restoration | Outer Sills 

Ha ha like what you did there 🤘🏻

I still to come over and take a look! Let me know if your free at the weekend for an hour or so 🤘🏻🚀

Plenty of rust left to deal with 😬

Thanks! Lots I would do differently next time but it’s a huge learning curve on my first restoration project, I have learnt a huge amount already….. thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻🚀

Thanks Clive! I have tried to be carful with the threads for the fuel line, at least 2 for the heat shield will be removed holes welded up and then I hope to use stainless big headed threads that I can weld in place or bond through a small drilled hole from inside the car. I will have to reinstate 1 fuel line thread, do you know what size this could be / thread size? Still such a long way to go 😬🤘🏻

@@PocketRocketGarage Sounds like you'll be good lad. Mine was a high miles unit with over 112K miles on the clock. Looked to me like the original heat shields were mounted flush to the body and trapped moisture. This resulted in some large areas of rot I then had to deal with beyond just studs. I've used some standard course there studs for both head should and fuel brackets. Nothing special just plenty of seam sealer and paint! I've replaced the heat shields with a basic dimpled alluminuim material which is easy formed and I'll be mounting stainless spacers to keep it off the floor panels.

Do the fuel line threads have a standard thread size? I can’t remember what screws on, it was so long ago I took it all apart

@@PocketRocketGarage Not that I recall. The fuel rail plastic bracket has an integrated plastic nut. I've used course threaded studs and it winds into this just fine.

I just hope to get it solid underneath with the best repairs I can achieve…. The next mini on the channel will be a show car 🤘🏻🚀 Thanks for watching Mark

Does it remove rust? 🤣 yeah looks like another order is on the way 🤘🏻
