The way a bay should be done (Mini dig )

Should be great when done although I'm not a fan of the arches but I can appreciate the work and I might be turned when finished.

I can agree on the wanting it back but not rushing

Not a great deal done, but making progress. Really need my mate with his welder then I can crack on and get it done.

Well I bought a front strut brace but felt it didn't suit my engine bay so sold it on...



So bought another an this one is much better









Also got a rear one from Kieran





Some bonnet lifters so I could take the bonnet stay off



Made some templates







Cut out







How they will sit







Getting there



Ac template



One more too make..

Seam sealed the plates





Then gave it a well earned clean







Cover on (looks better fitted in person)







Then took then engine apart a little... Still need to gat a extender bar to take the head bolts out!

I snapped my bar trying to undo a bolt haha.

As long as the welding is done and funds are still ok it should be done
