Really loving the rebuild threads - lovely to see the amount of time and effort going back into saving them!

And here is the front subframe after the top side is primed, once dried will do the bottom side and then paint.

The inside of the flitch, you can see the corrosion on the bulkhead! Looking for that section if anyone is breaking a mini........

Whilst we were working on the car yesterday some jumpy reversed into the back of 1984mini25 's mini! And to top it all off the person had that morning written off another car! Not impressed. As you can see its not just the light that needs replacing. The panel is also bent in!
