Good shell, and its a real shame as I just got rid of a 1965 cooper less the shell. It was one I bought with a rotten shell and I cut it up but kept everything else, was going to use the shell from my 1962 850 but as it was an original car I couldn't do it.

No sorry I sold everything I had with the v5 a few months ago, have a few mk1 spares but can't get rid of anything till my own car back together.

sorry about the pictures it was dark outside and its allready dark in my garage anyway ile try and get better pics for you all. one thing i need to ask is i brought a new welding tip and it doesnt fit on mine the hole is to big? so i have put my old one back on  and now when i go to weld as the wire hits the metal the volts just go threw the wire? what does this mean? i was doing so well and got to the last bit of the run on the bottom and it started playing up and made my welding look poop. 

[ToM 2012]

got the inner passenger wing welded in and the rear quarter welded in place just need to start on getting the door hung and a panels in place with other little bits and bobs to do. also got the scuttle clamped in place ready to weld. its getting there now starting to get more ridgy to. comments welcome
