Guess what, these holes are there for a reason. The factory had a big
rotisserie that they poke right through the car so they can roll them over
to spray paint them (at least thats true of Minis and lots of other BMC
vehicles of that vintage). Minis have a sort of round hole with one square
corner in the firewall and another in the boot wall, take off the bonnet
and boot and you can see straight through.
