I'm going to either use the red spray or film, or use a red bulb. I would have thought it would be fine for a MOT.

Havn't done much in the past week, Last saturday We ground down the bumper lip to trial fit the rear subframe.


And today we tuned up Lulu85ritz's engine.

Yesterday We remade the closure panels from one main piece of metal, We bought a 3x2 piece of 1.2mm steel for £10 so worked out alot cheaper to make them instead of buying them.





Then I welded on a lip to the curved piece, the small Gap and the cut along the top.



I still need to weld the other one up, but that can wait for the week.

Graham

Haven't really been doing much lately, I Drilled the subrame mounting hole on the closure's and have started drilling hole's for plug welding.







I started cleaning the boot floor and battery box to fit the valance.




I then decided to:

I also pulled the battery cable through the hole as it had rusted and someone rivited a plate on.


And then drilled out the spot welds of the battery box to rebuild it.

looking good, sometimes it is good to stay away from mini's, but now you need to stay in that same gear and carry on, get the body work out of the way and primed before winter....

Cheer's minimuk, It does, Everything seem's to fight you which get's quite tedious. I should be able get on with alot more of the job's by myself now and then hopfully it will be primed by winter
