went to halfords yesterday and got some bits to fix my old mini up even though it was only sanding stuff and some primer but hey ho did my passenger wing but came to be a right swine because of two little dents on the curve of the wing and took me three or more times to almost get rid of it but thats for tommorow now and my dad is still chipping away at the front end but ill have to admit he is doing a good job of it any way here are the pictures
