FITTING FLOOR PAN - 1977Sagren - 05-13-2019
Good evening
I recently bought a Classic mini body that the floor from the handbrake going forward to the bulkhead including sills has been removed without any bracing.Any ideas on how to go about bracing it before i weld in the floor.Also i will be changing the front from Classic to a a club man.Any ideas on the bracing will be of great help.
Thank you.

I would suggest weld struts across from under B and A pillar

Before welding anything, make sure to that the shell is square and true. It's a good thing the subframes are still in place. There is info in the workshop manuals with measurements etc. If everything looks to be square, then putting bracing in. As said above, put a brace between the door frames, as well as across the car. I would suggest between the bottom of two B pillars.
