Stripping down my mini

Post by spud1979 »

As many of ye know I know nothing about cars, only how to drive them. In the next short while I'm going to strip my mini to the bare shell and I looking for important points to remember on what to do when stripping it. When it's sandblasted and cut I'm hoping to try put it back together too. I'm just looking for pointers from people who have done it before. Thanks for looking, any advice welcomed

Pictures pictures pictures, labels and boxes that are labelled.

I cant stress enough how vital they are to making sure that you remember to put everything back on in the right way/place! :)

Good luck with it!
