Great work Rich, Minis are one of those cars that can be fun to do, large repair sections make easy work of a big job, so rapid progress is rewarding :cool: :cool:

Thanks yes that is so true each time you weld in a new piece you can see it coming back to life and as you say it fairly easy quick and cheap.  :smiley:
