Right I decided to stop being a girl and to buy new panle's for the rear instead of trying to repair them as they were a complete mess, I mean the previous owner had filled whopping great dents with 10mm of filler.

Managed to get the passenger side almost done today till I ran out of wire so gonna buy some tomorrow. Got loads of pics to update but ill have to do them later as I'm on my phone

Also managed to pic up a set of 4 pots and discs as well as a quick rack and wirring loom for £200 so quite happy with that

Looks good mate,

I would advise you to use ear protectors when grinding back.
Or you'll end up deaf by the time you reach my age !!

Gauntlets too wouldnt go a miss when sparking that welder up. Work safely.

I now have a slither of Mini in my kneecap due to kneeling on mat when grinding a mini.
Its a couple of years on now, and it don't half ache in cold weather.

[danny1]

6 ahaha i use it on full wack

but its not great, pullses, could do with a better one if im honest

If I could work as quickly as that, my project would have been back on the road a year ago. Well done, but I have to say (being deaf now) is that safety protection usually, and unforunately, only becomes an issue when it is too late to do anything about it!
