good stuff! i love bodywork and welding, its so fun, and when you achieve something and get one area finished you can stand back and be proud of yourself. I would be with the work you have done. Keep it up !

Thanks Dan,
and bare with me, I am a Dutchman living in the UK for 26years and doing mini's up, what can I say, that probably will explain my use of "Strange"wording somehow.

Thanks, would be wrong to leave her to die, every mini has a story to tell, this one is special in her own way and in time she will be on her feet again.

This is great. You work very quickly. Thanks for sharing and do put up the photos - it really helps us less experienced people. Your welding is so tidy.

Best wishes to you

Good work! My first project was a 71 in that dark blue colour.

Do you plan to keep her original?

Hugh hi, it is all about sharing on here.Welding is a bit like painting, practice and more practice, I started welding January last year every day a bit on my last mini'81 resto, this one is a bit more special, no mistakes again!!
If you are not happy what you just have welded,...cut it out and do it again.... you will understand why in the end. What are you restoring?
