Looking like this will be running in a few weeks.
You in the body repair trade? Just appears you're used to doing this with a lot of pace.
Good luck!

I work in I.T but I've had 7 minis over the past 18 years so I've learned how to take them apart

lookin good once again likin this project!!
Have you just screwed the inner wing on for now then built up the front end, then will you go round and weld the inner wing in place once you know all the gaps are right or did you weld it straight on?? just curious as ive gotta do this soon, but mine needs a fair bit more work than yours!!
with the wings etc what order did you put them on?? ie: bolt on the main front panel to the subframe then work your way up, or scuttle then wings etc?
carry on like this itll be done by the weekend!!

I screwed everything together except the front panel which is also bolted to the sub frame. It took all day to adjust the gaps until I was happy, then I tacked the inner wing in place. Then I stripped the front apart again so I could weld the inner and door step into place
I've worked from scuttle down as I wanted to get the wing and A panel gaps perfect, then fit the bonnet and final adjust the front panel
No pictures today and no updates until next week as I have to go away this weekend

Day 27
N/S almost ready for A panel
Hole in O/S floor to deal with
Removed rear subframe and found more holes
Sheared off one N/S bolt, i'll weld a nut on to remove it but at least the heal board looks ok
The old subframe Mmmmm, remember this still has over 8 months MOT

Not sure what colour or style yet, as its for Mrs Rat she's in charge of all that and is useless at making a decision
