You just run a seam of weld all the way along the top of the a-panel ryan, might be a good idea to trim the a-panel (height wise) down abit so your a-panel lines up with the wing seam
 
Looking progressive

Ok I will do just that! Is that the proper way then? Cause I know on mk3 minis it's just left open cheers mate!

Hmmm right guys can anyone take me some pics of their mk1 a panels because I really want the leave the top how it would be standard some pics I see they are smoothed others welded and painted over other just left open. What was standard procedure ! Cheers Ryan

From the factory they are brazed and smothed off but most people run a bead along the top smooth and fill its looking good by the way the wing gaps are mint

Cheers mate I will just weld it across then and smooth it slightly to keep the swage line runing round the van

Update !!!!
Right got alot done !
Cleaned up and painted both inner a panels


D/s welded on!

Then we decided we needed to put my other mini into the tunnel so the van had to come out!

Gave it a blow off with the air line. Basically all the welding is completed now just got little bits of finnishing left. Like the drip rail p/s
Here it is removed

Home stretch now Ryan!

Yeh when I get over the grinding mountain it's so boring! Just the drip rail and p/s heel board to arch closing panel left to weld up now! Then it's rubbing down and filler but I'm getting some help from a work colleague with that !

We was talking about making my other mini into a garden feature in the middle of the lawn but mother would go mental! Plus it's a waste ! Cheers bud!

Friends forever

Cleaned all the welds up this side and etch primed it for now

Done the same with rear quarter and rear corner

That's all folks!
