Restorations / Re: Adventures with a 68 Mini
Last post by blaked - April 26, 2026, 01:43:45 PM
Another big weekend in the garage. Completed the plug welds on the outer sill, installed the companion bin, installed the ashtray, and test fit the boot floor. Really happy with how the boot floor is lining up with the bins, heel board and wheel arches. Shocking actually. With respect to the companion bin, I cheated a little and did fillet welds on what will be the vehicle's noticeable interior. I attempted to weld the flange from inside the bin; however, after one attempt I definitively concluded this was not the way for me. Perhaps possible for someone with actual skill in the craft. Certainly, I would have made a huge mess with poor quality welds in an unreachable location. Ultimately i'm happy with the outcome.

The adult actors that had to sit in the backseat had about a 10 timeframe and they ready to get out. The lights that were on produced a lot of heat towards the car and they could not even run a fan towards the car for sound noise reasons.

High tech and low tech. Green screen in the background for future driving scene, guy in front of car with his foot on the bumper and the guy off to the left with the pole going under the car provided the rocking movement for driving scenes.

Because this is a low budget student run production they were just happy to have the car, although not knowing I took all the stickers and non stock stuff off. They did not even bother to cover or change the license plate.

New meaning to in car camera. The guy holding it was probably 250 pounds.

NICE!

A wee strange thing though, all the photos come in to me in landscape orientation, but if I click on the sideways ones, they immediately flip right side up. ( I use Firefox, if that makes a difference.)

I have removed the tow hitch from my R53 as I now have a Tacoma for towing. Happy to share the hitch with someone who wants it.

Did the movie people want to make any changes to your car for the film? Remove stuff? Add stuff?
