Quite straightforward to fit really. Its position is governed by the rear arches and the heelboard. Lots of spot welds to drill and plug welds to do. I would recommend using genuine valance and close outs though, the magnum closeouts I used were crap
Thanks that's exactly what I thought with the positioning, we also are having a whole new rear panel so it would make sense to use the heritage valance as well to complete the set haha this back end alone is beginning to add up

Had a day on the mini today, well sort of. Dropped both subframes off for blasting and coating at chicago powder coaters, then r kid had a look at a mini at all japanese motors in Stockport. Way over priced. Then went to Quasar in Stockport to see about getting the engine re built. Busy busy

Got this hole kind of filled in today, I need to roll it over ind plug weld the seat base to heel board then its time to redo the outer sills
We forced plenty of zinc spray into the seam after welding so hopefully that'll keep the tin worm at bay
Imm is only 14 months away.... CRAP!!!!
