Are you getting bottom repair panels or are you tarting them up with sheet metal?

Know that feeling! Done the new complete bottoms and heritage skins on both of my Minis,  all worth it in the end though! Looking good Jimmy!

I might put a big order in at minispares and have a drive over to York to pick it all up. So that'll be door bottoms, skins and all the bits we need to get it a rolling shell again :-)

This is look so good Jimmy love it! Got a proper soft spot for a Clubby after having a few estates over the years.

 

Those panel gaps look bang on to! Nice work!

First time out for a while, gave it a good hoovering out with the intention of turning it over to clean the floor up and have a coat of etch, ready for my nephew to come round and stone chip it. Ended up cleaning the welds up after welding the front end on, If my neighbours didn't like me they definitely won't now haha

While I was at it r kid did his bit for recycling, normally empty carlsberg cans, but they cleaned up quite well

 

Then we had a go at getting the trumpets off the donuts, what a ******* of a job

Then it started raining so the shell never got rolled over, first job for next time
