I didnt weld any of the seams from the inside as this is alot harder than is sounds and from my point of view (im probably wrong) theres more chance of breaking on the outside then.

Its impossible to weld the roof from the inside as their is the rails that run along infront of the seam which give the roof strength and hold the headlining rods in.

Be careful welding along the top of the windows and doors. Its very easy to get it wrong and make a mess. This is the first place I look on a deseamed mini.

thats what i thought but i was just asking because the quriosity got the better of me!

The top of the doors/rear quaters are as tough as shiz to get righti have just managed to get one corner right at the moment and that stil needs a bit more attention.

So its all up and running then just need some tax and your on your way?

I second that statement. Well done you, it looks out of this world B)

Log book arrived today!

Got wipers that work now. And front wheels that point the same way!

Which means I've got to put orange bulbs in the front indicators, bleed my brakes through again and I'm done.

Taxing it on Thursday as that is the first day of the month!
