wow
All the panels have been around £500 in total and they are all Heritage
The welds on the scuttle are plug welds, drill 5mm hole though top layer and weld through the hole into the metal below like a spot weld then grind down

I usually start around 10am and finish at 6pm so as not to annoy the locals. I've now moved the car into a garage to prevent the rain from damaging the car so these time will now change. Saturaday was Mini day at Combe so not much happened over the weekend but I did start the grind-a-thon on all the spot welds on Sunday. I have a house move to assist with today so no more work until at least tomorrow night

Nice work mate! Impressive!
The repair you made here, did you buy a repair pannel or make something up? i just had some pannels replaced on my shell and the only thing left to do on the rear is the corner bits below the lights like you have. its had a new rear boot floor lower valance and a boot repair panel (where the boot bolts on).
