I think the main lesson to learn here is safety and strength. As its for a 9yr old the first port of call is safety, now all of the pattern crap is made from piss poor steel. the inner wing/ sill area is a strong place originally. Just a thought !! rick The way I have attached the sill to this car does not compromise safety, you have yet to see the cage going into this car also, safety aspect of the car will increase 100 fold once the cage is in.

It's a learner track car for a 9 year old! Couldn't be bothered? I chose not to, l looked and removed all of original sill/outer skin. Theres no more skins on this floor pan now than there would be on a standard! If all you want to do is post smart arse comments in a tread, go and do it some where else. I'll think twice before I update again, as I've never been on a forum that hold so many portentous users. i cannot believe a new member can come on here and talk to respected members like shit and get away with it for so long you pissed me off right at the beginning when you started with the blunt attitude and it went on and on to the point that out of respect i did not post anything in this thread because im a firm believer that if you have nothing nice to say then dont fucking say it every one has there opinion and are free to speak it openly, weather you listen to it, take offence by it or be a cock about it is down to you personally you say your learning both with the car and with welding, well fucking listen to advice given, people on this forum have been there done it and willingly tell about the problems they had members freely came you you with friendly advice and you kick off??? dude all there trying to do is help that is what we are all about that what has brought this forum forward so far, the only smart arse comment in the thread span from you and then peoples reactions to you serious reality check over Where have I once stated I am learning about cars? Just welding pal... You believe people here have the right because they are long standing members to be patronising and antagonising to a new member? and you wonder why I reply with an abrasive tone! Respect? it is earned fella, having 10K posts doesn't invalidate you to having your reply / replies addressed by new members. I maybe new to this board but I am far from new to boards in general, thus having the confidence to tell some one to jog on from my threads if they reply in the fashion I have just identified.

He would have caged up the car and he does know what he is doing, I don't see why people flame others so much over an oversill. Yes it's not an original replication, but how many cars on the road have around 3 crusty sills covered by another oversill. I don't see a problem in using an oversill IN PLACE of an original sill. If the person who fits them wants to replace them again sooner rather than later then so be it. The only bloke on this forum that talks sense! Well done Carl, on the fact you have managed to continually cohabitate on this forum for so long with a bunch of prats, your tolerance to idiots if far more than mine. Have fun. |

It's interesting, when you search on other forums against user names on here, what you come up with.

You seem to have a serious attitude problem. We are only trying to help you. We come off in such a way as a direct result of your attitude.

But, back to the point.... The OP, when saying there is no difference in what he has done to the original design, seems to be basing it on this 
It seems he has used the lower edge of the cover sill to replace the main floor in that area - but only at the back (and not all the way to the back). No photos of the new inner sill so part cover sill, part floor but no-where have the drainage slots been openned. And is a cover sill really the same thickness as the original floor ??? And poorly welded (by his own admission). I don't think the water/moisture traps are really the issue here, rather more the structural integrity of such a bodge. But he knows best as he says his cage adds 100 time the strength...... Oh dear......... On 19th Feb, 2011 Miniwilliams said:

I don't think the inner sill has been welded back in yet guys, look at the other pictures where the opposite side has been replaced and the side you are talking about has been cut out ready for a fresh piece. I'm not arguing with you here but it's not finished yet.... On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

Yeh you're right. Hes still yet to chop it off. shorten it by four inches. Weld the inner sill in then weld the now shorter outer sill on top! On 19th Feb, 2011 Miniwilliams said:

I can,t comment on the technical aspects of what is being discussed here, but his welding looks pretty good to me - and he is saving another Mini - is that not enough? |

People who respond like the way he has to constructive critisicm are probably just trying to save their ego rather than saving another Mini. I certainly wouldn't rebuild a shell like that and drive it around a track, let alone put a 8/9 year old child in it, and say it's OK because the roll cage (yet to be seen) makes it 100 times better. But that's just my opinion. Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ??? |

To be fair, it's not just new members that get abuse! The long standing members often criticise each other, they just don't throw their toys out of the pram about it. There is often interesting debates on here, far above the intellect of many people (myself included), if everyone had your attitude towards it then this forum would not be what it is. It makes the search feature invaluable. It's constructive criticism, not patronising or antagonistic, getting "abrasive" about it helps nobody. |
