Did you really let your daughter drive around in this? :lol:

I take my hat off to you. So much work and effort. How many times have you done this?

Its her baby she loves driving a retro car, its got remote central locking, inertia seat belts front and rear plus lots of other modern features so the best of both worlds.

See above - its a keeper so the effort of removing all the rust by cutting it out is justified, some of it is surface only and could be treated but never convinced that its successful.

They may not be 100% but I'm glad to have them as still the best fitting non originals I've found.

That was a half day playing around with the wing to get it to fit :roll: and that's just the bottom of the wing.

Gary - you have the ability from what you have already done just time consuming and soul destroying.

The other alternative is the Keith Lennox (if available)made repair section but that means buying twice as you still need an arch section as well.

:D Cut out the rust on the floor at the front and reattached.
20160128_183729.jpg
Time to remove the old sill - apart from the front it was in very good condition
the floor edge a little crispy so out it all comes.
20160128_183752.jpg
Sill has been ordered. Today was the first time I've had to spend any money so far have had every thing I needed already, long may that continue :D

Well not spending money didn't last long :(

After removing the floor edge it was clear that there was rust under the seat support that can't be dealt with without removing the support or floor.

Contacted Bob at Imp Club Spares about a floor, only one side currently available and its the side I need LH and there is a Scottish member picking up stuff today. Must be my lucky day he can even drop it off to me on his way home, unfortunately this luck did not extend to choosing the lottery numbers last night.

Thanks Alan

Sill rebuild under way

Replaced all the flanges on the seat support which increased its stiffness incredibly however the
downside was it took all day :shock:

Re: Karen's Imp Sport

I can see why the floor panels are popular, we are just in the early stages of organising another press run of floors, we are getting low again on floor stock which means we have sold nearly 45 pairs now. We were expecting these to be a slow seller and take several years to sell the first batch. Fortunately the floors are relatively easy as they only require us to take a day off work and spend a morning pressing them and they are done, we also hold and transport the tooling for this ourselves. The rear wings sadly take a lot more effort and involve organising multiple other people to move the tooling, work with the pressing and then the finishing , we are also looking to address some of the quality complaints from the first batch to gradually improve them moving forwards so we should be able to improve the quality slightly as we go.

Last time we wanted to do some pressing Bentley had block booked the press for a significant length of time, that shouldn't be the case now so we should be able to get organised now. I'm currently writing a piece to go in for Impressions inviting more members of the club to get involved with making panels and join a group designed to look into future creation of further Imp body parts so if anyone is interested in this please let me know.

Apologies for the thread Hijack Scott, the work you are doing is exceptional and is a great advert for the club panels, it is satisfying to see people using them to such great effect. :D

Good news there Chris.

If I can suggest a small improvement, the flange on the floor edge where it joins the sill was a little short.
All it requires is to position the steel a 1/4 inch further over before pressing, more than enough on the tunnel side to allow for that.

I'd be happy to be help just a little far away but happy to provide input.

Did you manage to find some genuine factory sills? Or did you have to use repro? I was told the repros even the factory style arent quite to the exact same profile as the factory ones curve slightly, did you have to adjust them to fit at all if you used the repro,?
Just wondered what you opinion of them were as youre doing a full job?

Having fitted factory sills myself, even those, in fact all the original panels need a certain amount of fiddling and adjusting to fit perfectly, they dont just plonk on, and Ive seen a few just plonked on too, a lot of the repro panels I found do disappoint though, they arent quite right, they will do the repair, better then having dents and holes of course but they never seem to look quite right, maybe its because they are fitted without the time needed for them to work, rushed, costs.

Ok once you have the material they can be "made" to fit extremely well of course but it takes hours and lots of effort as Tiker shows on his to get it spot on and as Ive found too, in fact Ive chucked the repros and gone off and found some originals even though they cost a small fortune these days.
The club panels do look good although Ive not actually seen some fitted at close scrutiny next to an original fitted?

Very good copy, possibly more radiused folds but no reworking apart from the drain slots I'd give them 100% for effort
Even factory pressed ones by now would be similar if using the original moulds - if you look at early and late original mini rear panels the swage line below the rear window is sharp on the early cars by the end its a vague ripple.

There is a lot of work and effort needed to get it spot on but it can be done, as the supply of OE panels dries up there will be no choice but to use repo. As its unlikely commercial enterprises will find enough volume to justify making them, hopefully the club will step in and get the quality right.

Not a chance :D I didn't bare metal it inside and out last time to return it to that colour.

Karen choose that colour, well its her second choice the first was a metallic flip. Piaggio Vespa Blue no. 1

Is that the best place to join a replacement rear wing then Scott? I'm looking at fitting some to mine and has previously had wings stuck over already at some point. The swage is a bit iffy as it is :roll:

If that's the case I'd look at welding it on the upper side of the swage a bit more awkward but equally valid.
