Touch too close with the camera either that or you have zoomed in too much, nice project though keep it going.

[project mini chris]

[project mini chris]

just needs a few adjustments and then we can start welding it

[Deathrow]

Looking good sir .

Always best to fettle about until you get it better than perfect, then you only weld it once. I learnt that the hard way.

Lovely chris...

Me liking, well done

[project mini chris]

Well unfportunately the parts supplier only had 1 teardrop mount so i now have to wait until monday to get the other- so no updates on the front panel.... but i did get to reconstruct parts of the bonnet and 'debadge' (filler in) the badge holes....




and also filled in some pitting on the windscreen corner, sanded and almost primed

[Mini Basher]

Nice work, I hate it when you're waiting for something and then only part of the order turns up, it really throws a spanner in the works and changes the direction the project is going in, looking good though , keep up the good work
