some cars are crashed and put out to pasture.  If they were garaged, rust is not necessarily the issue.  Meanwhile, the car I have has the most solid floors I've ever seen on a mini, but apparently had a bad rear seal in the back glass. Hence the water damage and rust localized under the seat back .   I only need partial companion boxes and I can fabricate that as it's flat stock.  The seat bottom and back have stamping for reinforcement and that's what I'd rather have than flat repairs patched in.

Having just cut up a car, I would say that saving the companion bins would be more trouble than they are worth, considering they are now available.

Same with the boot floor... Any car rotten enough to cut up, would not have a viable boot floor anyway.

Looking for companion boxes, r and l side of back seat, and boot floor. My rear of the boot floor is good. It's rotted at the seat back and the back seat bottom going a few inches into the boot. Also need the lower half of the seat back.

let me know what you have.  If it's local, I can cut it myself.
