Underbody

Got to work in the past few days cleaning up the underbody. I took a wire wheel and rust remover discs on the grinder, and ground down the filler and primer around the seams and any questionable areas. I then welded up any of the larger holes and added a few plug welds where it looked like they needed, well, plug welding.
Next, I donned the nitrile gloves and started up on the POR 15. I have just attacked the left side of the underside, I'll flip the body over when I'm done and get the other side. Tonight I finished the first 1/4 of the job, POR 15, one coat, on half of the Mini. The POR 15 instructions say to put at least 2 coats, so I'll do the second coat on the next Mini night.
