Surely that's costing you a fortune Luke!

Do you have an air compressor? You could get a shutz gun and get the cheaper tins of underseal which have more in them.

Does look slick though! I was going to brush the majority of mine on but I might get some more tins and spray it now, looks so neat and uniform.

It isn't that expensive Adam. The first two cans I bought from Halfrauds were.. but I picked those 5 up from Ebay for £7 each. Plus I don't have a compressor

But yeah, it does look very nice and neat

Lovely day at Gaydon today, really nicely sized show! and the Heritage museum was wonderful as well.

More money spent!

And I saw a BEAUTIFUL mini that is the kind of thing I've been aiming for, everything about it was spot on!

Been having 2nd thoughts about my fibreglass bonnet as well..

It fits awfully and even if I did get it to fit well.. I'm not overly keen on the fixings all over the place. I've been thinking about buying a mk3-5 bonnet for a tenner and just drilling the spot welds off the lip.. job done! Hmm..

















& the mini I adored..

Snap!





Look forward to seeing this built up!

Nice aren't they! Although you've got the chromed and I went for the brushed alloy ones. I've been after them for ages and almost bought a pair from somewhere online.. can't remember the name.. but they came to £80 including postage! Robbery!

Had seen some elsewhere but the descriptions and photos were always bad and I couldn't be sure which finish I was actually buying.

Picked the pair up today for £23!

looking good! Im going all metal when i get round to rebuilding... like you say, fibreglass just doesnt fit....

i had those mirrors on the minus, beautiful things, i had satin black, so light arent they!? mine were about £40 posted, you got a bargain there!

Oh, and you cant beat beige....

Yeah man! so light! Opted for the brushed aluminium because I don't want the chrome pitting! And I've got Stainless Steel bumpers for the same reason.

Really can't remember, I paid in cash so didn't get a receipt or anything It wasn't one of the big name stalls.. think it was just an elderly couple with a white van!

Card readers packed up so an Iphone photo will do for now.

So stoked with these, they'll look the nuts when they are in place

[analogue_radio]

Update! but no photos.. for some reason my Macbook Pro won't recognise either of my card readers but will recognise my external hard drive.. any ideas?

Anyway..

Got both the air vents welded up! Need some advice about how to patch the hard to reach areas but without any photos its tricky. I'm thinking about getting a piece of copper sheet so I can use that to build up a wall of weld against.

I'm away in Norfolk this weekend and then a week in Iceland shortly after that so won't get any garage time!

the problem is you have a Macbook Pro. lol

This is a joke before anyone gets serious.

im also intersted how to patch up tricky areas, how do you do what your on about with the copper sheets?

[analogue_radio]

Haha well.. don't know why my card reader has packed up, but.. I didn't realise my Macbook had a SD card slot in the side.. duhh.

Hopefully I'll get my update in before I go away!

[analogue_radio]
