Liking the fabrication and there is nothing wrong with getting a bit excited over new panels especially beasties like the load bed. It looks very good.

Thanks Dean, she says she's very chuffed (and she better be with the amount of time I spend working and freting about this car!)

Liking the fabrication and there is nothing wrong with getting a bit excited over new panels especially beasties like the load bed. It looks very good.


Thats ok then :) it certainly is a beasty bit of steel! Biggest panel I think i'll ever have to fit seeing as I work at a Mini garage.

HI BEN!! sorry I didn't return your hug the other day :)

Yep I cracked the whip the last two days and got loads done! The loadbay only arrived in the post on tuesday so i'm happy with the turn around. Keep an eye on the thread i'm sure it'll carry on at this pace for the next few weeks so should make for good reading :thumbsup:
