Your heater tap is correct as it is.

Pitty you didn't ask about the waterpump bypass hose, $4 at repco for the real part!

it will be, however go to Repco, its likely to be cheaper than that or even here http://www.classiccarparts.co.nz/mini-pre-verto-clutch-slave-cylinder-non-genuine-gsy110-mg-1100-sprite-n-midget?search=clutch%20slave&description=true

Clutch slave cylinder - sorry I don't have a spare but they should be easy to get - same as mini.

Got into the bottom of the A pillar, I need to make it fill in the red line! IMAG0389 this is the foot well under the front of the floor, I think I will need to roll it over again and remove this right across to the other side and get a new one folded up. Luckily my old mate from school owns a sheet metal shop and can pretty much manufacture anything from sheet. IMAG0388 The new sill and guard seem to fit ok, but I will need to brace the door opening before I move it and check it hasn't opened up while sitting there. The red tape on the sill is about where I will cut it to match up with the new rear guard. IMAG0387

Nor sure if you follow this group on FB https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=915173395188817&set=pcb.885553291531517&type=1&theater but there always seem to be Snipes on there

Test fitted the floor and inner sill IMAG0364

More progress Got this off IMAG0354 Needs fixing IMAG0356 IMAG0358 Made a patch IMAG0359 Found a good way to make some rounded corners for the jack point cutout - my spot weld bit to the rescue again. IMAG0360 Ready to weld IMAG0361 All done - Only rust proof under coat I have is white and this bit is not seen once assembled so no point in completely cleaning up the welds. IMAG0362

Being a D series one, you could remove the entire back roof section if you want Like this.

^^ Buy my spare one

So super low like this one I have spare? 2015-02-08_02-26-05 I have a new set of sills resonably cheap if you need them

more cutting IMG_5120 and the drivers side floor is gone IMG_5121 IMG_5122 I need to finish unpicking the ends of the sill and repair the front of the floor to enable me to start putting it back together again.

Tortron, I think it will just be wirebrush and rust converter all round now. azzurro, they were from here http://www.testntools.co.nz/desic-spot-weld-drill-set-13-piece-9-5mm-p30456.html so far still using the first one - still going strong

Ripped the back guard off IMG_4969-001 It had been fixed before! IMG_4973-001 More rust IMG_4971-001 Opened the sill up, glad I have a replacement floor, inner and outer sill IMG_4975-001 This is what it should be like IMG_4976-001 IMG_4978-001 I think I will have to strengthen the shell before I cut any more away or it may fold in half! The inspector checked out the progress IMG_4979-001

I was struggling with my spot weld drill bit, The one IMG_4966-001 Saw this type on the tard IMG_4964-001 IMG_4963-001 Its really just a 9.5mm hole saw, best thing I have ever used. Does this, IMG_4967-001 So much easier as you cut around the weld not through it where it has been hardened by the welding process

Finished taking the front apart, the steering box is easy to get to now - this is as far apart as the front will need to come. IMAG0264_BURST002 IMAG0265 IMAG0266 Just as well! there is not much left.

Been off work sick for a few days, feeling a bit better this afternoon so did some stuff... Took the nose off IMAG0242 If only it was this easy IMAG0244 This is why I got new sills all round IMAG0246 Got this off as well IMAG0249 Can see why they rust with traps for rubbish like this IMAG0248

Cheers Tori, you could be right. How's the trip coming along?

There is still a fair amount of work to do as the sills overlap the guards at both ends so there will have to be some careful cutting - still working out where to start - the floors? the front? the back?

So what was in the boxes... IMAG0203 Now I just have to find time to start some real work on it.

Look what was waiting for me when I went to leave for work this morning! I wonder what's inside? IMAG0197 Straight to my door - do not pass customs - do not collect $$$ - score! Very good service 13 days door to door

Just hit order on a large pile of panel parts from here https://webshop.fiat500126.com/ several large boxes on their way! Eagerly watching DHL tracking.

Thats very expensive https://store.nzfarmsource.co.nz/catalog/interchem-sodium-bicarbonate-25kg/200024 no you cannot reuse it

Go for it! I went from this IMG_3574 To this IMG_3576 In about 30 seconds Also IMG_3577 IMG_3578 And IMG_3566 IMG_3580 Cheapest place for Soda is rural supply shops

Those are the correct ones.
